Clivia 

a genus of plants of the family Amaryllidaceae. They are perennial evergreen plants with a short stem, small vertical rhizome, and thick fleshy roots. The leaves are leathery and lorate. The flowers, which have a simple six-membered orange, reddish orange, or yellowish pink corolla, are funnelform or tubular and gathered into umbels. The fruit is an orangish red berry. Three species are native to Southern Africa; they are cultivated as ornamentals. The species Clivia miniata has become a common indoor plant. Plants of the genus Clivia are propagated with rhizome offshoots and seeds.
