 * Your comment is inaccurate and could be easily clarified by a Google search. Common names are often imprecise and the same common name can refer to multiple species; the disambiguation page for Queen of the Night refers to four different species and that’s without mentioning the famous tulip cultivar.

According to the citation (and many other sources), the native distribution is: "Northern America SOUTHERN MEXICO: Mexico [Chiapas, Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave] Southern America

CENTRAL AMERICA: Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador" This is not the same as "extensive areas of South America." Grouchymarx (talk) 05:47, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
