		+	Beschorneria (after H. Beschorner, German botanist). Amaryllidaceae. Succulent desert plants, allied to Bravoa, Fourcroya and Doryanthes, planted far south and in California, and sometimes seen in collections under glass in the North.
		+
		+	Leaves in a rosette, glaucous, roughish at the margins, not so thick, firm or fleshy as in Agave (which has a strong end-spine and horny marginal prickles): root- stock short, tuberous: fls. accompanied by showy colored bracts. In Beschorneria, the perianth is usually reddish green, funnel form but with a very short tube and with long, oblanceolate segms.; in Doryanthes the perianth is bright red, the segms. long, narrowly falcate; in Bravoa the perianth is red or white, the tube curved, sub-cylindrical, and the segms. short. From Fourcroya, to which the genus is closely related, Beschorneria is distinguished by its tubular-shaped perianth, long and narrow segms.," thin and slender filaments, which are only slightly thickened below the middle. The perianth of Fourcroya is campanulate, with spreading, ovoid or elliptic segms., and short thickened filaments; the fourcroyas are larger plants, and without large showy bracts, and often produce bulbils, which Beschorneria never does.
