Strumaria phonolithica is an Amaryllidaceous plant species (tribe Amaryllideae) endemic to Namibia.[3] Its narrow funnel-shaped flowers are, jointly with those of Strumaria barbarae, the largest in the genus. It grows in subtropical shrubland, tropical dry shrubland and rocky areas in the Aurus and Klinghardt Mountains of the Tsau ǁKhaeb Sperrgebiet National Park in southwestern Namibia, where it is usually to be found growing in phonolite gravels (- whence the specific name phonolithica) [4][5][6]
