Belamcanda (East Indian name). Iridaceae. Blackberry Lily. Leopard Flower. A hardy, herbaceous perennial, which is an old garden favorite. The first of the popular names comes from the clusters of shining black roundish seeds, and the second from the flower, which is orange, spotted red. It is more commonly sold as a Pardanthus, which also means leopard flower.

Prop. by seeds or by division. Of easy culture in rich, sandy loam and in a sunny place. Sometimes, but incorrectly, spelled Belemcanda. One species.
