Lapiedra Explained
Lapiedra is a genus of Western Mediterranean plants in the Amaryllis family.[1] It now contains only one known species, Lapiedra martinezii,[1] native to Spain and Morocco.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Two other former species are considered members of other genera (Narcissus and Traubia).[2]
Etymology
The genus is named after María Josefa La Piedra (1775-1858), a Spanish botanist.[8]
