Amaryllis paradisicola
Amaryllis paradisicola is a species of bulbous perennial plant from South Africa.
Amaryllis paradisicola is known from two populations comprising fewer than 2000 individuals. They grow on shady quartzite cliffs in the Richtersveld National Park, near the town of Vioolsdrif, Northern Cape. This is a much drier and cooler environment than that enjoyed by A. belladonna in the Western Cape. Although it occurs only in a protected area, A. paradisicola is considered a vulnerable species on the Red List of South African Plants, because of the potential effects of damage by baboons.
