Information
has gloss	(noun) spectacular plant having large prostrate leaves barred in reddish-purple and flowers with a clump of long yellow stamens in a coral-red cup of fleshy bracts; South Africa Cape tulip, Haemanthus coccineus
has gloss	eng: Haemanthus coccineus (coccineus: Latin scarlet-coloured) is a South African bulbous geophyte belonging to the Amaryllidaceae. Flowering in autumn, its scarlet spathe valves make it a striking plant and would account for its early appearance in Europe. Together with H. sanguineus Jacq., this was the first Haemanthus to be introduced to European horticulture and was described by Carolus Linnaeus in 1762. Despite Linnaeus' description, this same species was described under a host of different names (see gallery), which says more about taxonomic disorganisation than species variability. The plant figured on the left, was first described as Haemanthus hyalocarpus by Jacquin in 1804, and those in the gallery below, which are all H. coccineus, were first described under the caption names.
