Hippeastrum angustifolium Pax (Amaryllidaceae): First record for a biodiversity hotspot in the Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Abstract

Hippeastrum angustifolium Pax a bulbous perennial in the family Amaryllidaceae, occurs in Argentina, Paraguay, and south-southeastern Brazil in the Pampa and Atlantic Forest domains. In this work, we present the first record of this species for the Cerrado domain in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. We also comment on its biology and ecology.
