Lvs. 1-2 ft., broad-ligulate, spine- margined, concave on upper surface, green above and paler beneath, abruptly acuminate: n.-cluster shorter than Lvs., farinaceous, densely red-bracted; fls. numerous, bright red, petals reflexing. Brazil. B.M. 4756. J.F. 3, pi. 267.—Showy. Runs into several varieties, some of them with purple-tipped fls. (as vars. splendens and fastuosa, Andre, R.H. 1883:300).
