+'''Nerine''' ({{pron-en|nɨˈraɪniː}})<ref>''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607</ref> is a genus of plants belonging to the [[Amaryllidaceae]] family. Native to South Africa, there are about 30 different species in the genus. Nerine have been widely cultivated and much [[Hybrid (biology)|hybridized]] and are now spread world wide.
+
+It is a [[bulb]] plant, with each bulb being about 3–5 cm in diameter. In late winter and spring the plant produces several strap-shaped, dull green leaves, about 20 cm long and 1 cm broad, arranged in two rows. The leaves die down by late spring and the bulb is then dormant until late summer.
+
+In fall each bulb produces a single naked stem about 30 cm tall which bears a cluster of 2 to 12 funnel-shaped pink flowers at their tops. Each flower is about 4 cm diameter.
+
+Overall the plant has similar growing characteristics to the [[Amaryllis|Belladonna Lily]], though it is much smaller. Another similar plant is the [[Lycoris (genus)|Lycoris]].
