Description

Cryptostephanus vansonii in Zimbabwe

Bulbless rhizomatous perennial plants. Clivia has showy orange or yellow flowers, while Cryptostephanus has smaller flowers with a paraperigone that had them erroneously classified with Narcissus in the past. it is also the only Haemantheae genus with a phytomelanous seed testa.[1]


Taxonomy


For the early taxonomic history of these two genera, see Meerow and Clayton (2004).[1] (Traub described this grouping as tribe Clivieae in his 1963 monograph on the Amaryllidaceae, based on the type genus Clivia. .[2] Subsequently, the Müller-Doblies' reduced it to a subtribe and placed it within the Haemantheae.[3] Later molecular phylogenetic research has confirmed this placement, with Cliviinae being one of three subtribes of Haemantheae.[1]


Phylogeny


The Cliviinae are placed within the Haemantheae as follows:

Tribe Haemantheae

Subdivision



Distribution and habitat


Clivia is found in summer rainfall regions, as herbaceous understory plants of coastal and Afro-montane forest, while Cryptostephanus are plants of savanna or forest habitats.[1]
