The flower-spikes sent up from the heart or crown of the plant are red panicle with the three outer sepaloid segments longer than the three inner or petaloid ones. Frequently confused with A. rubens and A. emmerichiae, A. mulfordii has less dense and elaborate inflorescence than A. rubens and the long, broad floral bracts conceal the ovary.
Red panicles sprout from the heart of the plant; they are characterized by three outer sepaloid segments that are longer than the three inner petaloid ones. This flower structure is frequently mistaken for A. rubens or A. emmerichiae, as A. mulfordii has a less dense and elaborate inflorescence compared to A. rubens, with its long, broad floral bracts concealing the ovary.
