			'''''Brunsvigia josephinae''''', commonly called '''Josephine's lily, Candelabra lily''', is a [[deciduous]], [[subtropical]] species of ''[[Brunsvigia]]'' originating from [[South Africa]].<ref name="wiesema">{{cite book\|last=Wiersema\|first=John Harry\|coauthors=Blanca León\|title=World Economic Plants: A Standard Reference\|publisher=CRC Press\|date=1999\|isbn=0849321190\|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=hQL-2sdxgDAC}}</ref> It is marked by deep pink to red leaves which are about 12 to 15 inches long. It flourishes in medium humidity, at temperatures between 50 and 75°F (10 to 24°C).<ref name="plantcarecom">{{cite web\|url=http://www.plantcare.com/encyclopedia/josephines-lily-1255.aspx\|title=Josephine's Lily\|publisher=Plantcare.com\|accessdate=2009-03-02}}</ref> It shoots up from bulbs in March and April, and the leaves develop later. These bulbs can take 12 years to settle before they flower, but they flower annually once established.<ref name="diary">{{cite web\|url=http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/stories/s210831.htm\|title=Plant Diary: Brunsvigia Josephinae & Cyclamen\|date=2000-11-10\|accessdate=2009-03-02}}</ref>

			''B. josephinae'' is about 0.65 m tall when flowering. Its bulbs are some 200 mm in diameter and usually exposed. Leaves appear only in winter; they are blueish grey and typically range from 8-20 leaves per plant. Dark red, tubular flowers appear in late summer to autumn; they are 15 mm long atop stalks approximately 650 mm long, with 30-40 flowers per plant. Plants may take as long as 14 years to mature from seeds.

			The lily was named for [[Joséphine de Beauharnais]], [[Napoleon I of France\|Napolean]]'s empress.<ref name="diary"/>
