Scadoxus cinnabarinus
''Scadoxus cinnabarinus'' is a herbaceous plant from tropical rainforest in Africa. It is native to Western and Central Africa from Sierra Leone in the far west to Angola in the south.〔 It has been reported from Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Niger, Sierra Leone, Central African Republic, Cameroon, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, São Tomé, Zaire, Uganda, and Angola.
==Description==
''Scadoxus cinnabarinus'' grows from a short rhizome. Many other species of ''Scadoxus'' have a pseudostem (false stem) formed from the tightly wrapped bases of the leaves. ''Scadoxus cinnabarinus'' has at most a very short pseudostem, making the plant shorter than other species, with an overall height of up to . The flowers are borne on a scape (leafless stem) which emerges from the centre of the leaves and is usually not much taller than them, with a height of . Up to 100 (but usually fewer) orange-red flowers are arranged in an umbel at the top of the scape. The bracts underneath the umbel have withered by the time of full flowering. The individual pedicels (flower stalks) are long, and bend downwards when the fruit (a berry) is formed, whereas in most other species of ''Scadoxus'' they are upright at this stage.〔〔
The flowers are somewhat differently shaped in different parts of the range of the species. In particular individual flowers from East Africa, especially Uganda, have a long tube at the base formed by the fusion of the tepals, up to long, whereas elsewhere the tube may be as short as . The width of the leaves also varies throughout the range. This variation has resulted in a substantial number of names for what appears to be a single widespread and variable species.〔
