Abstract
Flowering of certain fynbos geophytes has long been noted to have an obligate dependence upon fire. One of these species, Cyrtanthus ventricosus (Jacq.) Willd., is shown here to be stimulated to flower by smoke. Ethylene, a gaseous component of smoke, did not stimulate flowering in this species.
