Doryanthes excelsa
''Doryanthes excelsa'', commonly known as gymea lily, is a flowering plant in the family, Doryanthaceae and is endemic to coastal areas of New South Wales near Sydney. It has sword-like leaves more than long and when it flowers, sends up a flower spike up to high. The apex of the spike bears a large cluster of bright red flowers, each across. Its common name is derived from the name given to the plant by the indigenous Eora people and the Sydney suburbs of Gymea and Gymea Bay are named after the lily.
==Description==
Gymea lilies have a rosette of large numbers of sword-shaped, strap like leaves long and wide. The leaves are bright green, fibrous and glabrous.
In winter the flower spike grows from the centre of the rosette until it is up to high, bearing shorter leaves up to long. At the top of the spike, a head of flowers in diameter develops, each flower being bright red, trumpet-shaped and about long. The head is surrounded by reddish-brown bracts, sometimes making it difficult to see the flowers from the ground. Flowering occurs in spring and is followed by oval-shaped reddish-brown capsules, long. In late summer, the capsule splits open and releases the seeds which are long.〔〔
