LC Appendix II Indigenous

Morphological description

Plants solitary or in small groups. Stem none or up to 15 cm, usually simple, sometimes with off-shoots at ground level forming small groups. Leaves 16-20, distichous (sometimes spirally twisted to rosulate in old specimens), narrowly long-deltoid, averaging 60-80 cm long, 5-6 cm broad at base, plicate-carinate and 'V' shaped in cross-section; upper surface green, usually without spots, sometimes with a few scattered spots near base, somewhat obscurely lineate; lower surface copiously white spotted low down; margins with a narrow white cartilaginous edge with firm white teeth 1-2 mm long, 1-2 mm distant, larger low down, gradually smaller to obsolescent upwards. Inflorescence simple, 1-3 from a leaf cluster, up to 1 m. and more high. Peduncle, flattened low down and somewhat bi-convex in cross-section, terete upwards, sterile-bracteate in upper half, the sterile bracts ovate very acuminate, basally amplexicaul, thin, sub-scarious, many-nerved. Racemes broadly conical, about 40-flowered, up to 20 cm long, 10-14 cm diam., the youngest buds obscured by their longer bracts, open flowers laxer, cernuous to pendulous, salmon-pink with green tips (near peach-red R.C.S.I.). Bracts ovate-acuminate, clasping their pedicels, the lowest about half to three-quarters the length of the pedicels, sub-scarious, many-nerved. Pedicels the lowest 40-45 mm long, longer in the fruit. Perianth 38-40 mm long, roundly trigonous, about 12 mm diam. at base, narrowing to about 9 mm diam. near throat, basally stipitate and narrowing into the pedicel; outer segments free almost to base, with 5-7 nerves confluent at apex, the apices sub-acute slightly spreading; inner segments free, a little broader than the outer and with more obtuse apices, with a slight keel pinkish in lower half, green near apex. Anthers not exserted to exserted 1-2 mm Stigma at length exserted up to 5 mm Capsule 40 mm long. Flowering December to February according to altitude and frosts. From: Reynolds, GW. 1974.
