'''''Lycoris''''' is a [[genus]] of 13–20 species of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Amaryllidaceae]], formerly often treated in the family [[Liliaceae]]. They are native to eastern and southern [[Asia]] in [[Japan]], southern [[Korea]], eastern and southern [[China]], northern [[Vietnam]], northern [[Laos]], northern [[Thailand]], northern [[Burma]], [[Nepal]], northern [[Pakistan]], [[Afghanistan]], and eastern [[Iran]]. In English they are also called hurricane lilies or cluster amaryllis. The genus shares the English name [[spider lily]] with two other related genera. <ref name=lycoris>What is the Genus ''Lycoris''?: [http://www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~lycoris/taxonomy-3.html Taxonomy]</ref><ref name=foc>Flora of China: [http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=119162 ''Lycoris'']</ref><ref name=grin>Germplasm Resources Information Network: [http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/splist.pl?7059 ''Lycoris'']</ref>

They are [[bulb]]-producing [[perennial plant]]s. The [[leaf|leaves]] are long and slender, 30–60&nbsp;cm long and only 0.5–2&nbsp;cm broad. The [[scape (botany)|scape]] is erect, 30–70&nbsp;cm tall, bearing a terminal [[umbel]] of four to eight [[flower]]s, which can be white, yellow, orange, or red. The flowers divide into two types, those very long, filamentous [[stamen]]s two or three times as long as the [[tepal]]s (subgenus ''Lycoris''; e.g. ''Lycoris radiata''), and those with shorter stamens not much longer than the tepals (subgenus ''Symmanthus'' Traub & Moldenke; e.g. ''Lycoris sanguinea''). The [[fruit]] is a three-valved [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]] containing several black [[seed]]s. Many of the species are sterile, reproducing only vegetatively, and are probably of [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]] origin; several additional known hybrids occur.<ref name=lycoris/><ref name=foc/><ref name=lycoris2>What is the Genus ''Lycoris''?: [http://www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~lycoris/lycoris-origin.of.sterile.taxa.html Species Evolution by Hybridization in the genus Lycoris]</ref>

==Gallery==
−
Plant bulbs in autumn, with neck of bulb at surface level of soil.  Under glass, grow in potting soil under full light.  Top-dress when grown begins, then give plenty of water and use balanced fertilizer until leaves die down.  Keep dry while dormant (summer).  Outdoors, grow in fertile soil with good drainage, under full sun.  Protect with dry winter mulch if you are in a marginal cold zone.

==Distribution and habitat==
  −
''Lycoris'' are extensively cultivated as [[ornamental plant]]s in Japan and China, and also in other warm temperate regions of the world. In Japan, they are widely used at the edges of [[rice]] [[paddy field]]s to provide a strip of bright flowers in the summer, and over 230 [[cultivar]]s have been selected for garden use. They are locally [[naturalisation (biology)|naturalised]] in the southeastern [[United States]], where they are often called hurricane flowers.

They are native to eastern and southern [[Asia]] in [[Japan]], southern [[Korea]], eastern and southern [[China]], northern [[Vietnam]], northern [[Laos]], northern [[Thailand]], northern [[Myanmar]], [[Nepal]], northern [[Pakistan]], [[Afghanistan]], and eastern [[Iran]].
