Its popular common name in North America and Britain is kaffir lily. In other parts of the world, kaffir is a racial slur; because of this, many are opting to call the plant by its numerous other names, as am I.
It grows to a height of about 45cm in the shade of trees and shrubs, and flowers are red, orange or yellow, with a faint, but very sweet perfume. It is sometimes known in cultivation as "Kaffir Lily".
