See text Phycella is a genus of herbaceous, perennial bulbous flowering plants belonging to the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae.

[7] The type species, P. cyrtanthoides, is commonly known as añañuca in Chile, and the star Gliese 367 is named after it.

[10] Phycella is located in the American (Hippeastroid) clade of the Amaryllidoideaetribe, where it is placed in tribe Hippeastreae, subtribe Traubiinae.

In molecular phylogenetic analysis, Phycella forms a sister group to the remainder of the Hippeastreae.

There was strong support for two major clades, representing two subtribes, with Phycella and three other genera (but not Hippeastrum) forming the Traubiinae.
