Humea elegans, Smith. Lower lvs. ovate-lanceolate or oblong, acuminate: st. clasping or decurrent, 6-10 in. long, wrinkled: fls. variously described as brownish red, pink, ruby-red and rose, very numerous, in long loose, gracefully pendulous panicles, much overtopping the rest of the plant. R.H. 1862, pp. 9, 10; 1895, p. 459. S.H. 1, p. 154. H. albida, Hort., is presumably a whitish-fld. form of this species, and should therefore be called var. albida. Var. gigantea, Hort. Much taller than type, reaching 20 ft. in height, having larger lvs. and panicles. The species itself is said by Bentham to attain 5 or 6 ft. or more in Austral. N. Taylor.
