Sprekelia is a genus of at least three bulbous plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, or Alliaceae.[1] 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 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.


Read about Sprekelia in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

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.
