Zephyranthes minuta

Zephyranthes minuta is a perennial flowering plant species also referred to as Zephyranthes grandiflora. 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. Confusingly, Z. grandiflora is also used as a synonym for Zephyranthes carinata, and this usage is very common in horticultural contexts.

In the UK Z. minuta is a recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
