Rosepink Zephyr Lily

Zephyranthes minuta

"Zephyranthes minuta" is a plant species very often referred to as "Zephyranthes grandiflora", including in Flora of North America. The latter is, however, an illegitimate name because the original author in coining the name "Zephyranthes grandiflora" listed the older name "Amaryllis minuta" as a synonym. This makes ""minuta"" the acceptable epithet under the ICN. In the UK it is a recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
