Haemanthus

Mary Sue,
there is a reference in Dee Snijmans book on page 123 under EXCLUDED TAXA .
The entry says" " H cinnabarinus Desne. in Fl des serres 12: 27 t 1195
(1857) = S. cinnabarinus (Decne.) Friis & Nordal".

Which probably means it is in the Scadoxus family and not truly Haemanthus?
regards,
