American botanist.

Alan W. Meerow is an American botanist, born in New York City in 1952. He specializes in the taxonomy of the family Amaryllidaceae and the horticulture of palms and tropical ornamental plants. He also works on the population genetics and molecular systematics of cycads and palms. He studied at the Bronx High School of Science and then at the University of New York. Dropping out after a year, aged 19, he moved to Santa Cruz, California. After living on a farm for four years, he decided to resume his studies in botany and horticulture at the University of California. Initially his interest in

The tribe was originally recognised by both Meerow (1995) and the Muller-Doblies' (1996). Its phylogenetic position within the Amaryllidoideae was established by Meerow et al. in 2000, while in-depth infratribal relationships were established in 2002.

Stenomesson leucanthum (Ravenna) Meerow & van der Werff 2004
plant species in the amaryllidaceae family
Stenomesson leucanthum is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae. It is native to Peru. Pierfelice Ravenna, the Chilean botanists who first formally described the species, using the basionym Pucara leucantha, named it after its white (Latinized form of Greek λευκός, leukós) flowers (Latinized form of Greek ἄνθος, ánthos).
Eucrosia dodsonii Meerow & Dehgan 1985
vulnerable plant species in the amaryllidaceae family
Urceolina dodsonii, formerly known as Eucrosia dodsonii, is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae. It is endemic to Ecuador. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. It grows from bulbs 2.5–5 cm in diameter. The stalked (petiolate) leaves have blades (laminae) 20 cm long by 12 cm wide. The zygomorphic flowers are yellow, produced in an umbel on a 60 cm tall stem (scape); the stamens have prominent long filaments. Unlike most species in the genus, E. dodsonii does not have nectaries. In cultivation, plants
Eucrosia calendulina Meerow & Sagást. 1997
plant species in the amaryllidaceae family
Eucrosia calendulina is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae. It is endemic to Peru. All members of the genus Eucrosia grow from bulbs and have stalked (petiolate) leaves with wide blades (laminae). The zygomorphic flowers are produced in an umbel. The stamens have prominent long filaments. E. calendulina is known only from the lower limits of the Cachil Forest of Peru. The species is threatened by habitat destruction.

Clinantheae Meerow 2000
plant tribe in the amaryllidaceae family
Clinantheae is a tribe (in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae), where it forms part of the Andean clade, one of two American clades. The tribe was described in 2000 by Alan Meerow et al. as a result of a molecular phylogenetic study of the American Amaryllidoideae. This demonstrated that the tribe Stenomesseae, including the type genus Stenomesson was polyphyletic. Part of the tribe segregated with the Eucharideae and were submerged into it, while the other part formed a unique subclade. Since the type species of Stenomesson was not part of the second subclade, it was
Caliphruria korsakoffii (Stenomesson Korsakoffii) (Traub) Meerow 1989
plant species in the amaryllidaceae family
Stenomesson korsakoffii is a species of plant in the family Amaryllidaceae native to Peru. It was formerly known as Caliphruria korsakoffii and Urceolina korsakoffii. A 2020 molecular phylogenetic study indicated that this species is sister to the other species of Stenomesson.

Eucrosia tubiflora (Stenomesson Tubiflorum) Meerow 1985
plant species in the amaryllidaceae family
Stenomesson tubiflorum is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae. It is endemic to Peru. S. tubiflorum, which was scientifically named in 1985 as Eucrosia tubiflora, is known only from the type collection in the Marañón basin, an area which had not been explored recently as of 2006. Like other species of dry habitats, it produces leaves and flowers seasonally and therefore may go unnoticed.
Eucrosia stricklandii (Baker) Meerow 1985
vulnerable plant species in the amaryllidaceae family
Eucrosia stricklandii is a species of plant which is endemic to Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. It is threatened by habitat loss. It grows from bulbs around 4 cm in diameter. The stalked (petiolate) leaves have blades (laminae) 20 cm long by 11 cm wide. The zygomorphic flowers are produced in an umbel on a 40 cm tall stem (scape) and are red in var. stricklandii, pink in var. montana. The stamens have prominent long filaments.
