Abstract:—In the complex of Orthophytum species with sessile inflorescences, the “subcomptex arnoenum” groups together the most ornamental species in the genus due to the color of the inner leaves and primary bracts. These inner leaves and primary bracts often become bright red or orange at anthe sis, forming colorftil “inner rings” of varying width around the inflorescence, which contrast with the usually green outer leaves (Leme 2004).
