Referring to the key to genera in the Amaryllidaceae in "The European
Garden Flora", Vol. I, p. 293, we find that the essential difference
between Lycoris and Nerine is:
27 a "ovules 1-3 in each cell of the ovary"
Griffinia, Lycoris, Haemanthus, and Scadoxus
27 b "ovules 4 or more in each cell of the ovary"
Crinum, Clivia, Brunsvigia, Nerine, and Amaryllis
