Clivia Miniata aka Bush Lily, named after Lady Clive, Duchess of Northumberland. It is at the risk of extinction, sought after in traditional medicine and horticulture. Wild populations have declined by nearly half in the last 90 years due to ongoing harvesting and the destruction of their habitat through deforestation, crop farming and urban development. Instead of picking a clivia from the wild, rather buy them from a reputable nursery.
