Red hymenocallids

Does anyone know anything about:
Hymenocallis miniatum--Thad Howard writes that this is "a red-flowered
species from the Peruvian Andes".
A couple of places I've Googled mention that historical accounts of
Lima, Peru describe a purple or red flowered Ismene amancaes. (A white-
flowered variety is also mentioned.)
And while not red, besides the yellow-flowered Ismene amancaes and the
two yellow-flowered Leptochiton species, Thad Howard also mentions a
"light greenish yellow" flowered Ismene velardii.
I can't find any information anywhere about any of these.
