O nome popular deve-se, talvez, ao facto do seu florescimento se dar nos meses em que começam as aulas. As flores são parecidas com lÃrios, em tons róseos ou brancos.

Once, when I wandered in the woods alone,
An old man tottered up to me and said,
âCome, friend, and see the grave that I have made
For Amaryllis.â There was in the tone
Of his complaint such quaver and such moan
That I took pity on him and obeyed,
And long stood looking where his hands had laid
An ancient woman, shrunk to skin and bone.
Far out beyond the forest I could hear
The calling of loud progress, and the bold
Incessant scream of commerce ringing clear;
But though the trumpets of the world were glad,
It made me lonely and it made me sad
To think that Amaryllis had grown old.
