Hippeastrum (Amaryllid) list

To the Hippeastrum collectors out there, I am trying to “assemble” a
list of the five most rare, hard to collect, wanted Hippeastrums
(Amaryllids) known to the “hippie” world. Your response will be
appreciated. Add names if you have others.
(The list has “expanded” a little over “5”.)

I will suggest a few just to “start the ball rolling”.

#1. Worsleya rayneri Brazil (Organ Mts)
#2. Paramongaia weberbaueri Peru
#3a. H. argentinum (tucumanum) Argentina, Bolivia, Peru
#3b. H. parodii Argentina
#4. H. bukasovii Puno, eastern Peru
#5. H. intiflorum Peruvian Andes
#6. H. goianum Brazil
#7. H. arboricola (epiphytic) Argentina
(#8. H. harrisonii ?not so "rare" as wanted) Uruguay
