Hippeastrums   are in the genus Ammaryllidacea (a family of flowering plants) which is the source of the confusion.  The true Amaryllis consists of a single species,  Amaryllis belladonna, also known as "naked ladies". However, there are more than  50 species of Hippeastrum. We will use the popular name , Amaryllis, though you will also see them referred to, more correctly, as Hippeastrum.
