Hi Joyce, The plant that the name probably refers to is Eucomis pallidiflora. I have a young plant of it here and it is considered a species in hort. My plant here looks like a very large form of Eucomis comosa var. striata but with larger more erect leaves. Flowers are quite like E. comosa. And very sorry, it is the 11th species which I accidentally left out from the list of species. It is commonly referred to as The Giant Pineapple Lily.
