Okay, Amaryllis belladonna appears rather promiscuitive - since crossbreeding succeeded with Brunsvigia, Crinum and Nerine, and I would veritably not be astonished if it crossed with Boophone and Ammocharis also.

But, as we all know, too, is, that this is not an argument for re-placing these within one genus.
(Sorry Tim, if I misunderstood the term "time for the taxonomists to catch up")
