Field Notes

Description:

Zephyranthes is a genus of temperate and tropical plants in the Amaryllis family. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/120027-Zephyranthes

Habitat:

Rubber-plantation.

Notes:

The only information I can find is that this is a species that seems to be indiginous to Malaysia, so how did it end up in a rubber plantation in Sri Lanka?
