Chlidanthus is a genus that consists of 10 species of tender bulbs from tropical South America, mostly natives to the Andes. The botanical name comes from the Greek, meaning "delicate flower".[1] The plants have large spherical bulbs with gray-green, strap-shaped leaves 30 cm long arising from the base. In late spring to early summer, clusters of 3-4 large, strong citrus-scented fragrant, funnel-shaped flowers 10–13 cm long held terminally on stalks 25 cm high, colored in yellow, pink or red.
