Amaryllis paradisicola is a species of bulbous perennial plant from South Africa.

Classification[edit]

Amaryllis paradisicola was described by Dierdré A. Snijman in 1998 in a paper in the journal Bothalia.[2] It is one of only two species in the genus Amaryllis, the other being Amaryllis belladonna, from further south in South Africa.[3]

Description[edit]

Amaryllis paradisicola flowers in April, producing a group of 10–21 Narcissus-scented flowers, arranged in a ring.[2] They begin purple–pink in colour, and become darker over time.[4] It has broader leaves than A. belladonna, longer stamens and a more deeply divided trifid stigma.[2]

Distribution[edit]

Amaryllis paradisicola is known from two populations comprising fewer than 2000 individuals.[1] They grow on shady quartzite cliffs in the Richtersveld National Park, near the town of Vioolsdrif, Northern Cape.[1][5] This is a much drier and cooler environment than that enjoyed by A. belladonna in the Western Cape.[4] Although it occurs only in a protected area, A. paradisicola is considered a vulnerable species on the Red List of South African Plants, because of the potential effects of damage by baboons.[5]
