Scadoxus membranaceus is a small flowering plant from the Amaryllidaceae family, native to South Africa. It is the smallest species in the Scadoxus genus and is often grown as an ornamental plant in areas where the temperature stays above 5°C. The plant has thin leaves and produces flowers in an umbel shape, with bracts that persist throughout flowering and fruiting. It is closely related to Scadoxus puniceus and is found in coastal sand and rocks in eastern South Africa. It can be grown in a heated greenhouse and is propagated by seed. The plant is toxic to animals and has been used in traditional African poisons.
