Features of Genus:
		Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) comes from the Greek hippeus (knight) and astron (star), perhaps because of its shape: the flower stem being lateral to the leaves at the top, metaphorically similar to the colors at the top of a knight�s lance. The genus is comprised of around 70 species, all native to south America. The flowers are carried on a strong stem, which has no leaves but frequently is covered with a �bloom� of wax.
