Plagiolirion is a genus of Colombian plants in the Amaryllis family. It contains only one known species, Plagiolirion horsmannii, rare in the wild and for several years thought extinct until rediscovered in the Río Cauca Valley in 1989. The species is widely cultivated because of its showy flowers.
