Erinna (plant)

Erinna is a genus of perennial herbaceous geophytes in the flowering plant family Amaryllidaceae.

The genus is monotypic, with a single species, Erinna gilliesioides.

[1] As such it was a genus within Alliaceae, and included in the phylogenetic construction of Gilliesieae in 1996.

[6][4] Although the World Checklist lists Erinna as a synonym of Leucocoryne,[7] Sassone et al. (2014)[4] still consider its status uncertain.

In 2014 Sassone et al. proposed dividing the Gilliesieae into two separate tribes.
