Watsonia angusta, Ker-Gawl. (W. iridifolia var. fulgens, Ker-Gawl). Scarlet-fld. species distinguished from W. Meriana by the color of the fls. and by the shape of the perianth-segms. In W. angusta the segms. are decidedly acuminate, while those of W. Meriana are more nearly oblong and come to a point suddenly; also the style of W. angusta reaches to the tip of the perianth-segms., while in W. Meriana it does not. B.M. 600. Gn. 17:390 (as W. Meriana var. coccinea); 44:164. Gn.W. 21:683. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
