'''''Sprekelia''''' is a [[genus]] of at least three [[bulb]]ous plants in the family [[Amaryllidaceae]], or [[Alliaceae]].<ref>APG zitiert [http://www.rbgkew.org.uk/cgi-bin/web.dbs/genlist.pl?AMARYLLIDACEAE Kew Garden]</ref> They are native to [[Central America]]. Like ''[[Hippeastrum]]'', these plants were known as ''[[Amaryllis]]''. ''Sprekelia'' plants are sometimes called "Aztec lilies", although they are not true [[Lilium|lilies]]. ''S. formosissima'' is common in cultivation, planted in warm climates or raised in pots in colder climates, or planted and lifted, much as the [[gladiolus]]. Even when well grown, bulbs often do not bloom every year. In a grouping of about a dozen bulbs, only two or three may bloom in any given year. {{Inc| Sprekelia (J. H. von Sprekelsen, of Hamburg, who sent the plants to Linnaeus). Amaryllidaceae. Jacobaean Lily. Half-hardy bulbous plants, generally grown in the greenhouse, often known as amaryllis: lvs. appearing late, strap-shaped-linear: scape hollow, cylindrical, l-fld.: fl. large, showy; perianth gaping, tube none, upper segm. broadest, 2 lateral lanceolate, 3 lowest deflexed, rolled together inclosing the stamens and style; ovary turbinate, 6-angled, 3-celled: caps. globose-trigonous, 3-valved.—One species, Mex. For cult., see Amaryllis; also consult Hippeastrum, with which these plants are sometimes confused. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== * ''[[Sprekelia clintiae]]'', Traub, 1965 Pl.
