Brunsvigia (after the Duke of Brunswick). Amaryllidaceae. Tender summer- or autumn-flowering bulbs. Umbels of large numerous brick-red fls.; corolla funnelformed, 6-parted, deciduous, its segms. nearly equal, recurved at the tip.—Species 9. S. Afr. The bulbs must be thoroughly rested from the time the leaves fade until the scape appears. Brunsvigias are hard to flower. They require rich, sandy soil, plenty of heat and sunlight. When growing, give water and liquid manure freely. They propagate by offsets. For fuller instructions, see Amaryllis. B. falcata, Ker-Ammocharis falcata.—B. magnifica, Lind. Fls. 20-25 in a cluster; corolla short; the segm. white, with medium stripe of red or purplish red: Lvs. 1-2 ft. long, 3-3½ in. wide, recumbent.—Thought by Baker to be Crinum Forbesianum or near that species.
