Phycella cyrtanthoides, the Añañuca de Fuego[1], is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae. It is a bulbous geophyte endemic to central Chile.[2]
Phycella cyrtanthoides is commonly known as añañuca in Chile, and the star Gliese 367 is named after it.[3] Añañuca is, however, a common name also applied to other related species such as Zephyranthes phycelloides[4] and Paposoa laeta[5].
