Buphane (Greek, cattle-destroyer, alluding to poisonous properties). Amaryllidaceae. Amaryllis-like bulbs, very little known in this country; culture as for Brunsvigia. The buphanes are large plants, with many red fls. in an umbel with 2 involucral bracts: Lvs. appearing late, strap-shaped, thick: perianth tubular; segms. equal and narrow, spreading; stamens 6, exserted, attached on the throat; style thread-like, the stigma small.—Two species in Trop. and S. Afr. The fls. appear before the Lvs., being as many as 200 together in a single head-like umbel, on a stout peduncle 1 ft. or less high.
