'''''Gloriosa''''' is a [[genus]] of five species in the [[plant]] family [[Colchicaceae]], from tropical [[Asia]] and [[Africa]]. They are tuberous rooted [[deciduous]] [[perennial]]s, adapted to a [[monsoon]] [[climate]] with a dormant dry season.

''Gloriosa'' climb or scramble over other plants with the aid of [[tendril]]s at the ends of their [[Leaf|leaves]] and can reach 3 meters in height. They have showy red or orange [[flower]]s, distinctive because of their pronouncedly reflexed petals, like a Turk’s cap lily. The plant is sometimes called the ''Glory Lily'' or ''Flame Lily''. ''G. rothschildiana'' is the national flower of [[Zimbabwe]] and was the national flower of [[Rhodesia]].

The most common cultivated species are ''G. superba'' and ''G. rothschildiana''.

All parts of the plant are poisonous; the [[corm]]s of the plant are used for extracting [[colchicine]].

+'''''Gloriosa''''' is a [[genus]] of five or six species in the [[plant]] family [[Colchicaceae]], from tropical [[Africa]] and [[Asia]]. They are tender, tuberous rooted [[deciduous]] [[Perennial plant|perennials]], adapted to summer rainfall with a dormant dry season. Their native range is Africa, Southeastern Asia and parts of Malaysia, but they are now widely cultivated<ref name=Smith/>. All parts of the plant contain [[colchicine]] and related alkaloids and are therefore dangerously toxic if ingested, especially the tubers; contact with the stems and leaves can cause skin irritation.
