Rhodolirium is a small South American genus in the tribe Hippeastreae of the family Amaryllidaceae. Although originally described by Philippi in 1858{{sfn|Philippi|1858}} it has long remained buried in other taxa, principally Hippeastrum and more recently Rhodophiala. Only in recent years has it been rehabilitated.{{sfn|Munoz et al|2011}}{{sfn|Garcia et al|2014}}

Restoring the genus was first proposed by Naranjo & Poggio (2000),{{sfn|Naranjo|Andrada|1975}} and accepted by Ravenna in 2003,{{sfn|Ravenna|2003}} although he used the name Rhodolirion, originally used by Baker (1878) in his very broad construction of Hippeastrum including both Rhodophiala and "Rhodolirion". He also renamed Rhodolirium andinum as Hippeastrum rhodolirion.{{sfn|Baker|1878}} Later he elevated Rhodolirion to the status of subgenus, with H. rhodolirion (subsequently Rhodophiala rhodolirion){{sfn|WCLSPF|2015|loc=[http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=286939 Rhodophiala rhodolirion]}} as the type species .{{sfn|Baker|1888}} Subsequently, the genus has been treated as part of Rhodophiala.{{sfn|Tropicos|2015|loc=[http://www.tropicos.org/Name/40024975 Rhodolirion]}}{{sfn|Munoz et al|2011}}

Description

Flowers single or pluriflor, perigone infundibular (funnel shaped) with elongated floral tube. Paraperigonium, if present, has free segments. Stigma capitate.{{sfn|Munoz et al|2011}}

Taxonomy

For early treatment of Rhodolirium, see Taxonomy of Hippeastrum. The rehabilitation has yet (as of February 2016) to be recognised by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families,{{sfn|WCLSPF|2015|loc=[http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=286866 Rhodolirium]}} but is by the Missouri Botanical Gardens, with six species.{{sfn|Tropicos|2015|loc=[http://www.tropicos.org/Name/40024980 Rhodolirium]}} The ability to resolve phylogenetic relationships based solely on morphological data is limited in the Amaryllidaceae, necessitating the use of molecular methods in addition. In their study of the American amaryllidaceae, Meerow et al. (2000) noted that Rhodophiala was polyphyletic.{{sfn|Meerow et al|2000}}{{sfn|Munoz et al|2011}}

Subsequently, Munoz et al. undertook a detailed study of Rhodophiala/Rhodolirium species and related genera and confirmed the genus as circumscribed was indeed polyphyletic with three species segregating as a sister group to Phycella which they proposed to resurrect as genus Rhodolirium, while the remainder of the species segregated in a separate clade more closely associated with Hippeastrum, which they proposed as Rhodophiala sensu stricto. When the morphology of the two groups thus identified was examined they were distinguishable by Rodophiala having a trifid stigma compared to capitate for Rhodolirium, by the nature of the paraperigon segments, and by their chromosome numbers (2n=18 for Rhodophiala and 16 for Rhodolirium) and their chromosome symmetry. Both groups appeared to be monophyletic and their differences sufficient to justify separation into two distinct genera. Rhodophiala and Hippeastrum appeared sufficiently close to explain their treatment as a single genus in older classifications, but their separation was consistent with the study by Meerow et al.{{sfn|Munoz et al|2011}}

The proposal to separate the two genera supports Ravenna's morphological studies, with Rhodolirium montanum (formerly Rhodophiala rhodolirion) as the type species for the new genus. Subsequent phylogenetic analysis by Garcia et al. (2014) confirmed this distinction between the genera and proposed dividing Hipppeastrea into two subtribes, Hippeastrinae and Traubiinae, placing Rhodophiala in the first and Rhodolirium in the second.{{sfn|Garcia et al|2014}}

= Subdivision =

Five to six species.{{sfn|Munoz et al|2011}}{{sfn|Tropicos|2015|loc=[http://www.tropicos.org/Name/40024975 Rhodolirion]}}

Distribution and habitat

From northern Chile, in coastal vegetation zones to Osorno province in the south, at altitudes of 150–2500 m. Also in Argentina.{{sfn|Munoz et al|2011}}
