국표에 없다.

Siphonochilus kirkii is a common species existing from Sudan south through eastern Africa to Zimbabwe. Plants grow from a short thick rhizome with tuberous swellings at the apex of the roots. Flowering occurs at the start of the rainy season together with the emergence of the leaves. Flowers are produced successively and the flowering period can last up to a month long. Seeds ripen several months later and require a dry dormancy period before they will germinate. The photos below were taken by Nicholas Wightman of plants growing in Lilayi, Zambia but collected in Eastern Province, Zambia.
