Abstract
42 species transfers are made from Amaryllis to Hippeastrum in accord with the decision, at the Fourteenth International Botanical Congress in 1987, on the application of the former name to a South African genu s. This completes the validation of combinations required in Xippeastr um, and will thus aid nomenclatural clarity and enable botanists and h orticulturists to refer to these species by their correct names.
