Fire Lily
Gloriosa superba
0.38435, 32.5432
Field Notes
Description:
Gloriosa are perennial herbs that climb or scramble over other plants with the aid of tendrils at the ends of their leaves and can reach 3 meters in height. They have showy flowers, distinctive because of their pronouncedly reflexed petals, like a Turk’s cap lily, ranging in colour from a greenish-yellow through yellow, orange, red and sometimes even a deep pinkish-red.
Habitat:
disturbed rainforest
Notes:
I spotted this growing along a road beside the forest in Mabira Forest Reserve, near Jinja.
