Kniphofia nelsonii, Mast. Lvs. narrow-linear (the old ones persisting as weak fibers),1 ½ -2 ft. long, with a thick midrib, rounded and 3-nerved on the back, and recurved serrulate edges: raceme dense, oblong, 2-3 in. long, on a peduncle as long as the lvs.; fls. bright scarlet sometimes tinged orange, all deflexed at expansion, on very short pedicels; perianth cylindrical, 1 ¼ in. long and narrow; segms. oblong and small; stamens more or less in two series, much shorter than perianth. Kalahari region, S. Afr. G.C. Ill 11:561; 39:82. Gn. 50, p. 400; 55:166 — It is probable that K. nelsonii is not represented in the garden plants under this name. A hybrid between K. pauciflora and K. macowanii has passed under this name, but it is now given the name K. kewensis, N. E. Br.: fls. yellow.
