Read about Barbacenia in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Barbacenia (Barbacena, a Brazilian governor). Amaryllidaceae. About 30 Brazilian plants, with scape bearing a single purple fl. Grown mostly in baskets, after the manner of many orchids. B. purpurea, Hook., is occasionally seen in fine collections, but does not appear to be in the American trade. Grown in a warm, moist house. It has many scapes which are much longer than the long, grass-like, toothed, prominently keeled Lvs. 1½ ft. Summer. B.M. 2777.—The genus is anomalous. It has been placed in the Haemodoraceae as well as in Amaryllidaceae; and Engler & Prantl place it in the small family Velloziaceae.
