|discussion=<p><i>Zephyranthes grandiflora</i> frequently displays flowers with extra parts and has been widely distributed as an ornamental. Flowers with extra parts have been seen in <i>Z. atamasca</i>, <i>Z. candida</i>, <i>Z. rosea</i>, and <i>Z. treatiae</i>. <i>Zephyranthes grandiflora</i> also has been found to have a variable number of chromosomes in cells from single plants (R. O. Flagg 1961).</p><!--
--><p>As a rule, the flowers of <i>Zephyranthes</i> species having high chromosome numbers, 2n = 48 or more, are built for self-fertilization, with the stigma borne very near (within 2 mm), among, or beneath the anthers (R. O. Flagg and W. S. Flory 1962). However, <i>Zephyranthes grandiflora</i> is an exception and often exhibits poor fertility.</p>
