{{Inc|
Kniphofia comosa, Hochst. Roqtstock thick and short, with copious roots: lvs. many, linear, bright green, to 2 ft. and more long, sharply keeled, edges smooth: raceme very dense, oblong, 3-4 in. long, on a peduncle equaling the lvs.; fls. bright yellow, deflexed, ½ in. long and funnel-shaped but dilated suddenly at the middle; segms. very obtuse; filaments red; anthers yellow, long- exserted. Nile Land. B.M. 6569.—This is perhaps more conspicuous by reason of its mass of stamens than the outline of the spike. It is doubtful whether the true K. comosa is the same as the cult, plant of that name. Perhaps K. comosa and K. leichtlinii of gardens are forms of one species. In the true or botanical K. comosa and K. leichtlinii, the spikes are sometimes 2 or 3 on the peduncle; when there is only 1 spike, the uppermost fls. open first, thus reversing the usual order in the kniphofias; when there are lateral spikes, they open from below upward. G.C. III. 56:410.
