Description

Nigozanthos is a small genus of Australian plants in the Bloodwort family Haemodoraceae. The 11 species and several subspecies are commonly known as kangaroo paw and catspaw depending on the shape of their flowers. They are grown commercially in Australia, the United States, Japan and Israel.

The plants have a basal rosette of long green to greyish-green leaves. The leaves of some species are hairy. From the heart of this roset merge long leafless stalks, which can reach 6 feet, ending in a raceme of flowers. The size and height of these stalks, which can be clothed in colored hairs, varies between the species.

The tuberous flower buds are also covered with colored hairs, giving it a velvety aspect. The tubular form of the flower bud resembles a kangaroo paw, hence its name. The flower tip spreads fanlike into six petals. Full-grown plants can have up to ten flowers at the end of each stalk.
