Amana is a small genus of flowering bulbs in the lily family, closely related to Erythronium and Tulipa, with some (but not all) genetic data suggesting it may be embedded within Erythronium.[2] Amana is found in China, Japan and Korea.[1][3] As of April 2026 the Plants of the World Online database accepts 13 species, three of which were formerly placed in the genus Tulipa:[1]
