Bulb ovoid, about 10-11 cm in diameter, up to about 18 cm long including the neck, tunicated. Leaves 9-13, strap-shaped, often falcate, variable in length and width, 1.3-1.6 cm wide, 6-40 cm long, striate, smooth, glabrous, glaucous, margins scarious and conspicuously erose or almost entire. Scape 12-20 cm long, ancipitous, glabrous, smooth, erect. Umbel 13-24-flowered. Spaihe-valves 4.7-5 cm long, 2-4 cm wide, broadly lanceolate, more or less acute, thinly coriaceous, rather opaque, conspicuously nerved; bracts filiform, obtuse, usually widened at the apex. Pedicels angular, at the time of flowering 5-11 cm long, elongating and rigid in fruit. Perianth varying in colour from pale to dark pink, shiny, sweetly scented; tube subcylindrical, widening slightly towards the mouth, variable in length, 0.8-1.5 cm long; lobes oblanceolate, obtuse, 4-6.5 cm long, 0.8-1.4 cm wide, imbricate below, gradually spreading towards the apex. Stamens unequal, slightly spreading, declinate, exserted from the tube; filaments filiform, 3-4.7 cm long; anthers 4-8 mm long, curved. Ovary about 10 mm long, hardly distinguishable from the apex of the pedicel and the base of the tube; ovules 8-18 per loculus; style filiform, triangular in section, exserted 4-6.2 cm beyond the perianth-tube. Fruit with the pedicel elongate, clavate; capsule indehiscent, pyriform, ovoid, ellipsoid to subfusiform, about 3.5-5 cm long and 2 cm in diameter, somewhat triquetrous with an additional median rib on each face, contracted towards the apex into a blunt beak often crowned with the remains of the perianth, drawn out below into the stout triquetrous much elongated pedicel. Seeds subglobose or somewhat bluntly angled by pressure, about 12 mm in diameter, fleshy. From: Milne-Redhead, EWBH; Schweickerdt, HGWJ. 1939. A new conception of the genus Ammocharis Herb. J. Linn.

Like A. coranica but up to 40 cm tall, pedicels elongating and stiffening when fruiting, and fruit spindle-shaped and 6-ribbed, with papery walls (vs. subglobose, smooth and membranous-walled). From: Snijman, DA. 2012. Amaryllidaceae. In: J Manning & P Goldblatt (eds), Plants of the Greater Cape Floristic Region 1: The Core Cape flora. Strelitzia 29: 53-62.

The flower-bud on opening is regular, except for one stamen which from the first is in a declinate position. In older flowers the stamens are definitely declinate and then tend to straighten out, the flower finally becoming more or less regular. The flowers open successively, and the colour varies a good deal in different specimens. The perianth-lobes in freshly opened flowers are white on the inner surface and white to pink on the outer surface, with conspicuous reddish-pink keels. As the flower becomes older the lobes turn a deep pink. During anthesis the pedicels are 5-11 cm long, but as the fruits mature the pedicels become rigid and elongate, reaching a final length of 8-15 cm. The young fruits are not unlike those of a Brunsvigia, but on maturing do not dehisce like a capsule. The mature fruits are subspherical to fusiform in shape according to the number of seeds developed. They often rupture before drying with the withered remains of the perianth still attached. As a rule a single vertical split appears first, but this is soon followed by others. The brittle papery tissue between the ribs tends to break down, leaving the ribs still attached to the pedicel. The heavy seeds are usually shed as the fruit dries, though some may fall soon after the living capsule-wall has begun to split. Seed-dispersal, however, takes place mainly in the following way. The mature infructescences become detached from the bulb and are then blown or tumbled about by the wind. In the course of this 'tumbling' the seeds more readily break through the papery walls and fall to the ground. Mrs. F. Isaac of Cape Town and Mr. H. Herre of Stellenbosch have both kindly supplied evidence that the infructescence is actually tumbled about by the wind. It has been observed also by Mr. John Martley of Banhoek, who `found two ripe inflorescences blowing about the veld on the flats of Alderman's Farm, Firgrove, both containing ripe seed '. The seeds are large and fleshy and often germinate in the capsule. A drawing of a capsule which had ripened in October, and which had stood all winter, was made by Richard Salisbury on 26 April 1814, and showed the radicle of a germinating seed pushing through the papery tissue between the ribs (Rendle, loc. cit.).
