Okay, Amaryllis belladonna appears rather promiscuitive - since crossbreeding succeeded with Brunsvigia, Crinum and Nerine, and I would veritably not be astonished if it crossed with Boophone and Ammocharis also. But, as we all know, too, is, that this is not an argument for re-placing these within one genus.
