'''Amazon Lily''' is a plant that belongs to the [[Family (biology)|family]] [[Amaryllidaceae]]. Native to Central and South America, Amazon Lily resembles a bulb in shape. The plant has shiny and deep green leaves. It produces a bunch of white flowers. An attractive feature of these flowers is their sweet smell. Something that makes it attractive for human beings is the fact that it can be grown indoors.

Urceolina × grandiflora, formerly known as Eucharis × grandiflora, is a natural hybrid putatively between U. moorei and U. sanderi of the family Amaryllidaceae, native to western Colombia and western Ecuador.[1]

Urceolina × grandiflora bulb with scale bar (20 cm)

The aneutriploid species U. amazonica is often misidentified as U. × grandiflora. Both of them are sterile plants with large fragrant white flowers, but they differ in leaf length, free filament shape, and staminal cup length:[2]

  • U. × grandiflora has shorter leaf blades (20–33 cm × (10–)13–16 cm), linear or narrowly subulate free filaments (1–1.5 mm wide at the base), and staminal cups (5–7 mm long to the apex of teeth) shorter than free filaments (7–8.5(–10) mm long).
  • U. amazonica has longer leaf blades ((20–)30–40(–50) cm × (10–)12–18 cm), subulate free filaments (2.8–3.4 mm wide at the base), and staminal cups (11.2–13.8 mm long to the apex of teeth) longer than free filaments (6.5–8(–10) mm long).
  • U. × grandiflora has shorter leaf blades, slender free filaments, and staminal cups shorter than free filaments.
    U. × grandiflora has shorter leaf blades, slender free filaments, and staminal cups shorter than free filaments.
  • U. amazonica has longer leaf blades, flat free filaments, and staminal cups longer than free filaments.
    U. amazonica has longer leaf blades, flat free filaments, and staminal cups longer than free filaments.
