Lapiedra is a genus of Western Mediterranean plants in the Amaryllis family.[2] It now contains only one known species, Lapiedra martinezii,[2] native to Spain and Morocco.[1][3][4][5][6][7]

Two other former species are considered members of other genera (Narcissus and Traubia).[1]

Etymology

The genus is named after María Josefa La Piedra (1775-1858), a Spanish botanist.[8]
