Bulb subglobose, 1½ in. diam.: Lvs. 4-6, appearing with the fls., linear-strap-shaped, arcuate, bright green, ¾ in. or less broad, sometimes pustulate: scape flexuous, longer than in the other kinds, sometimes 2-3 ft. long: fls. generally pale pink, the segms. oblanceolate and crisped, Km' broad; stamens declined, the 3 longer ones rather shorter than the segms. Kalahari and central region of S. Afr. B.R. 172. R.H. 1913, p. 456. Var. pulchella, Baker (N. pulchella, Herb.), has glaucous Lvs., firmer than in the type: scape not flexuous: fls. pale pink, keeled rose-red. B.M. 2407 and Gn. 21:200. Var. Sandersonii, Baker, has peduncle and pedicels more robust and Lvs. 1 in. broad: perianth-segms. less crisped, 1¼ in. long, and more distinctly united in cup at base. Var. alba, Hart., has white fls. G.C. III. 40:336. N. Mansellii, O'Brien, Fig. 2475, is a fine hybrid between N. flexuosa and N. Fothergillii. Gn. 56:378. It has very broad fleshy Lvs. and bright red slightly irregular fls.
