Strelitzia

Strelitzia is a genus of five species of perennial plants, native to South Africa. The genus is named after the duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, birthplace of Queen Charlotte of the United Kingdom. In South Africa it is known as a crane flower. In the United States, it is commonly called the bird of paradise flower.
