Description and habitat

Hippeastrum evansiae is rare because their natural habitat is being used for agriculture. Hippeastrum evansiae grows in hot dry forests and prefers a warm and dry winter. It is one of the smallest species in the genus Hippeastrum.[3]

Taxonomy

Described by Traub & I.S.Nelson in 1956, and the name formally accepted in 1963.[1][4][5]

gollark: Security reasons.
gollark: Because the differential equations are linear, and the equations work that way.
gollark: i.e. if feeding in input A gives output X, and input B gives output Y, then feeding in A+B gives X+Y.
gollark: But linear/passive circuits *do* obey the "principle of superposition".
gollark: Not all components meaningfully have "resistance".
