# One Hour After Midnight

One Hour After Midnight (German: Eine Stunde hinter Mitternacht) is a collection of prose poetry written by the German author Hermann Hesse. First published in the year 1899, it shares its name with a poem from Hesse's earlier collection, Romantic Songs.

## History

An aspiring German writer and contemporary of Hesse's, Helene Voigt, encountered his poem "Grande Valse," one of his three poems inspired by the music of Chopin. Being so moved, she wrote to him a letter of appreciation, and the two established a correspondence. Several months later, Helene married an "ambitious publisher" named Eugen Diederichs, whom she implored to publish Hesse's recently completed prose collection. Eugen, out of respect for his new wife, agreed to publish a tentative 600 copies of One Hour After Midnight. The collection sold with difficulty, and an embarrassed Hesse withdrew it prematurely, refusing to reissue the work again until 1941.

# Scadoxus puniceus

Scadoxus puniceus, commonly known as the paintbrush lily, is a species of bulbous plant. It is native to much of southern and eastern Africa: Ethiopia, Sudan, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Eswatini (Swaziland), and South Africa (the Cape Provinces, KwaZulu-Natal, the Free State and the Northern Provinces). Scadoxus puniceus can be found in cool, shady habitat such as ravines and forests, where it is often found in moist leaf litter. Other common names include snake lily, royal paintbrush, King-of-Candida, African blood lily (English), rooikwas (Afrikaans), isisphompho, and umgola (Zulu). There are nine species of Scadoxus of which three, S. puniceus, S. multiflorus (with 2 subspecies) and S.membranaceus, occur in South Africa.

## Description

The bright red, round fruits are about a centimeter wide, and each produces a single opalescent seed.

## Taxonomy

The genus was named by the polymath Constantine Samuel Rafinesque, who did not explain its etymology. The name is possibly from doxus meaning "glory" or "splendour" in Ancient Greek, referring to the scarlet flowers; the prefix sca means "obscure" or "hidden", or from the Greek "skia" = shade. One source reports the origin of the name to be unclear. The species name puniceus means "reddish-purple". Previously classified as part of Haemanthus, it was separated mainly because of its stalked leaves.

### Synonyms

* Gyaxis puniceus (L.) Salisb.
* Haemanthus fax-imperii Cufod.
* Haemanthus goetzei Harms
* Haemanthus insignis Hook.
* Haemanthus magnificus (Herb.) Herb.
* Haemanthus natalensis Hook.
* Haemanthus orchidifolius Salisb.

* Haemanthus puniceus var. magnificus Herb.
* Haemanthus redouteanus M.Roem.
* Haemanthus redouteanus var. subalbus M.Roem.
* Haemanthus rouperi auct.
* Haemanthus superbus Baker

## Cultivation

The plant is cultivated as an ornamental. It was popular in the Netherlands as early as the beginning of the 18th century.

### Cultivars

Some artificial hybrids between Scadoxus puniceus and S. multiflorus subsp. katherinae are known. Johannes Nicolai raised S. 'König Albert', which flowered for the first time in 1899. Although rare in cultivation, it multiplies rapidly. Of the same parentage is S. 'Andromeda', which was raised by C. G. van Tubergen around 1904.

## Uses

While the bulb is considered poisonous in significant amounts, it is used traditionally to treat "coughs, gastro-intestinal problems, febrile colds, asthma, leprosy, sprains and bruises," and "as an antidote to poisons.'" It is also used as a diuretic. The leaves are applied to sores and ulcers to aid healing and act as an antiseptic. The plant is also traditionally consumed during pregnancy as part of an herbal regime to ensure safe labour. The alkaloids in the plant include haemanthamines, haemanthidine, 6-β-hydroxycrinamine, scapunine, and scadoxucines.
