Hippeastrum and astronomy
Jane McGary (Sat, 13 May 2017 13:56:43 PDT)

This is a very obscure question, so I expect Jim McKenney to answer it.

I'm translating a monograph on Hippeastrum for our first PBS Occasional
Paper, and it mentions that the name may refer to an "estrella del
caballero" visible only in the northern hemisphere. I would like to know
the official astronomical name of this "knight's star." Can anyone help
me? Google couldn't.

Thanks,

where I can't grow Hippeastrum.
