Cyrtanthus obliquus, the Knysna lily, is a speciesofflowering plant in the amaryllis family. It has spiralling leaves and large pendulous flowers. It is native to coastal grasslands from KwaZulu-Natal to the Eastern Cape, South Africa.[4]

It is adapted to a dry winter period in its native range (March to August), and is able to survive in hot, dry conditions. Its thick, greyish leaves are also adapted to this sunny environment.[4] It is a popular container plant. It can be multiplied by removing and planting side bulbs, when these appear.[4]
