Nerine bowdenii is a species of flowering plant in the Amaryllidaceae family, native to South Africa. It is an herbaceous bulbous perennial with strap-shaped leaves and large umbels of pink lily-like flowers. Despite its common names such as Cornish lily and Guernsey lily, it is not a true lily and is not from Cornwall or Guernsey. It was named after Athelstan Cornish-Bowden, who sent bulbs of the plant to England in 1904. N. bowdenii is widely cultivated in temperate regions and can tolerate temperatures as low as -15°C. It is best grown in well-drained soil and is often accompanied by colchicums and cyclamens. Several cultivars have won the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. The plant contains ungeremine, a compound that has potential for treating Alzheimer's disease. However, it is susceptible to the vallota mosaic virus.
