Amana is a small genus of flowering bulbs in the lily family, closely related to tulips and included in Tulipa by some authors. Amana is found in China, Japan and Korea.[1][2] As of June 2012 the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families recognizes four species, three of which were formerly placed in the genus Tulipa:[3]
- Amana anhuiensis (X.S.Shen) Christenh., syn. Tulipa anhuiensis X.S.Shen
- Amana edulis (Miq.) Honda, syn. Tulipa edulis (Miq.) Baker
- Amana erythronioides (Baker) D.Y.Tan & D.Y.Hong, syn. Tulipa erythronioides Baker
- Amana kuocangshanica D.Y.Tan & D.Y.Hong
