Amaryllis is a genus of plants only consisting of two species. Confusingly some species of Hippeastrum have been known as amaryllis. Hippeastrum consists of 116 species, and 600 cultivars.

Bush lily is a different species, Clivia miniata, or Natal Lily. I think Greg has it wrong

Common names can vary, especially with a combined of more than 420 species of amaryllis. Some names include Barbados lily, Belladonna lily, Jersey lily, Naked lady, Amarillo, Easter lily in Southern Australia or March lily in South Africa
I have to that have been labeled bush lilies and now I’m wondering what they really are, lol one has grown from an 1” to about 7” in a month after repotting it but the other one hasn’t done much.
It’s a bush lily or Clivia
