Scadoxus nutans
''Scadoxus nutans'' is a herbaceous plant endemic to southwest Ethiopia. Its red to pink flowers face downwards as the top of the flowering stem bends over, unlike any of the other species of ''Scadoxus''. It grows mainly as an epiphyte in tropical mountain forests, which are disappearing, making the species vulnerable to extinction. It is sometimes cultivated as an ornamental plant.
==Description==
''Scadoxus nutans'' grows from a rhizome, with growth occurring mainly in spring and autumn.〔 The whole plant is usually tall, occasionally as high as .〔 The overlapping bases of the leaf stalks (petioles) form a false stem or pseudostem, which emerges from the side of last year's pseudostem.〔 The pseudostem is green, marked with brown spots, and is about long. The narrow leaf blades have wavy edges and spread out from the pseudostem, being up to long and wide.〔
The flowers are borne on a leafless stalk (scape), which is bent over during flowering so that the flowers face downwards. no other species of ''Scadoxus'' has similarly nodding flowers.〔 The umbel of 2–30 flowers has a dense brush-like appearance and is surrounded by a number of bracts, which persist until fruiting occurs. Individual flowers are carried on short stems (pedicels), less than long, and have red to pink tepals, fused at the base for about with narrow free segments up to long.〔〔 When the flowers fade and fruits are formed, the scape straightens, so that the ripe red berries, about long, are held upright. The sticky seeds are elongated, about long and wide. All other species of ''Scadoxus'' have ovoid or spherical seeds.〔〔
