Latace Explained

Latace is a genus of flowering plants in the family Amaryllidaceae. It includes two species of bulbous geophytes native to northern and central Chile and northwestern Argentina.

Taxonomy

The genus was first described by Rodolfo Amando Philippi in 1889. Zoellnerallium is a synonym.[1]

The genus is included in the tribe Gilliesieae, within the subfamily Allioideae.[2] [3] It is considered to be part of a group of four genera within Gilliesieae, referred to as Ipheieae nom. nud.. In 2014 it was proposed to create a new tribe Leucocorynae with six genera, including Latace, by splitting Gilliesieae into two separate tribes.[4]
