Haemanthus humilis subsp. humilis Baker

Bulb solitary or in clumps, varying from small to large, mostly ovoid, medianly compressed to more or less round in cross section, up to 80 mm across; tunics more or less equal with horizontally truncate margins, cream-coloured, sometimes turning dark pink when exposed to light, occasionally with a withered brown outer covering. Leaves 2, rarely 3, prostrate or recurved, appearing with or shortly after the inflorescence; blade 20-240 mm long, 13-150 mm wide at the middle, flat; adaxial surface dark or light green, smooth or hairy, the hairs sometimes coarse with papillose bases; abaxial surface light green, glabrous or rarely pubescent. Peduncle erect or bent sideways, 20-300 mm long, 4-9 mm across widest diam., varying from pale green to pink or deep maroon, immaculate, usually more or less pubescent, only rarely glabrous. Umbel loose, hemispherical, 25-60(-100) mm across. Spathe valves (4-)5-7, spreading and soon becoming reflexed, shorter than the flowers, broadly to narrowly triangular, (11-)15-25(-30) mm long, 2-9 mm broad, pale to dark pink, membranous; margins sometimes ciliate; tips acute. Flowers 15-80, rose-pink, or white and fading to pink. Pedicels 5-30 mm long, green, sometimes flushed with pink. Perianth 7-16(-18) mm long; tube 1-6(-7) mm long, cylindrical; segments slightly spreading, narrowly lanceolate, (4-)5-10(-14) mm long, 1-2 mm wide; tips acute. Filaments equalling the segments or exserted by up to 5(-8) mm, pink or white. Anthers 1 mm long when open, yellow. Ovary subglobose, about 2 mm diam., green, sometimes with a pink blush. Style more or less as long as the filaments. Berries ovoid, 5-10 mm diam., greenish-white to cream or orange, pulpy with a fruity smell when ripe. Seeds ovoid, about 5 mm diam., white. .
