Famatina (plant)

Famatina is a small genus of South American bulbous plants identified by the Chilean botanist Ravenna in 1972.[1] Five species have been described.[3][4] The exact taxonomic relationship remains uncertain. Phylogenetically they are placed within the Amaryllidoideae tribe Hippeastreae.[5]

Famatina andina

Taxonomy

The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families does not accept Famatina as a separate genus, but rather considers the species as synonyms for either Rhodophiala or Phycella,[2] which belong to different subtribes of Hippeastreae.[5]

Molecular phylogenetic studies suggest the genus is polyphyletic. Of four species examined, one (F. maulensis) segregated in a clade together with members of the Traubiinae subtribe, while the remaining three (F. andina, F. cisandina, and F. herbertiana) segregated with members of subtribe Hippeastrinae.[5] This implies that unlike the synonyms adopted at Kew, F. maulensis and F. herbertiana are genetically distinct.

Subdivision

Described species:[2][6]

  • Famatina andina (Phil.) Ravenna[3] syn. Rhodophiala andina
  • Famatina cisandina Ravenna [4]
  • Famatina herbertiana (Lindl.) Ravenna[1] syn. Phycella herbertiana
  • Famatina maulensis Ravenna[1] syn. Phycella herbertiana
  • Famatina saxatilis Ravenna[1] syn. Phycella herbertiana

Distribution and habitat

Chile and Argentinean Andes in Mediterranean zones. Moreira-Muñoz considers 2 of the five species endemic to Chile.[7][8]
