Hymenocallis caribaea (commonly known as the Caribbean spider-lily or variegated spider-lily) is a flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae. The species was first described by Linnaeus and later assigned its current name by Herbert.
It is native to the islands of the Caribbean and northern South America, including Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Hispaniola, Cuba, the Virgin Islands, the Windward and Leeward Islands, and the Venezuelan Antilles. The Caribbean spider-lily is also widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in many tropical and subtropical regions.
