Hi Lee and All,
Yes, Tocantiniamira is a real specie.
I have 3 very small seedlings of Tocantinia mira, with 3 years. This plant grows in the spring/summer, it is dormant in the autumn/winter, is growing slowly.
So far, I have noticed that Tocantinia mira leaves smaller, thinner and slightly rounded which Hippeastrum. For more similar to Griffinia.
I have no idea of the look of your flowers.
The name of the genera is a reference to their region of origin, the region between the great rivers: Araguaia and Tocantins. This plant is considered rare, even in nature.
My plants came from seeds received the Institute Plantarum.
When my plants thrive and produce its first seed, I will be happy to share some.
