Leucocoryne (glory-of-the-sun) is a genus of bulbous perennial plants in the family Amaryllidaceae.

[2] The foliage of all species is long and narrow and has an onion-like scent.

[3] The entire genus is endemic to northern and central Chile in South America.

L. purpurea, with purple flowers, has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

[4][5] The generic name Leucocoryne is a compound of the Greek elements λευκός ( = leucos ) "white" and κορυνε ( = korune ) "club" ( in the sense of cudgel or bludgeon ) - in reference to the pale, club-like, sterile anthers of the flowers.
