Description
edit
Generative characteristics
editThe plants produce umbels of large, fragrant white flowers in the spring. They resemble daffodils, hence the common name Peruvian daffodil for at least one of the species. Pamianthe pollen grains are large and the surface structure is coarsely reticulate.[7] The winged, flattened seeds of Pamianthe have a brownish-black seed coat.[8]

- Pamianthe ecollis Silverst., Meerow & Sánchez-Taborda – Colombia (Cauca)[5][9]
- Pamianthe parviflora Meerow – Ecuador (Zamora-Chinchipe)
- Pamianthe peruviana Stapf (syn. Pamianthe cardenasii) (Peruvian Daffodil) – Peru, Bolivia (Cochabamba)
- Formerly included[10]
see Leptochiton
- Pamianthe andreana - Leptochiton quitoensis
- Pamianthe quitoensis - Leptochiton quitoensis
Conservation
editPamianthe peruviana is believed to be extinct in the wild.[11] Pamianthe parviflora is classified as vulnerable (VU).[12]
