Hippeastrum? If so then this might help.
This is a species list with a few named hybrids

As well as the interspecific crosses there are a fair number of intergeneric hybrids like xhippestrelia the hybrid genus for Hippeastrum and Sprekelia. I believe there are a few nonstandard names used as well under Sprekeliastrum and Hippeasprekelia.
