Holmskioldia sanguinea
This is the most commonly cultivated species. It's an open, straggly shrub with a tendancy to climb if support is available. There are several varieties with flowers in red, orange and yellow shades.
Holmskioldia tettensis (Karomia speciosa)
This species has been moved to a different genus and is now formally Karomia speciosa (plants referred to as Karomia tettensis are presumably the same thing). However, you'll still see it listed under old name of Holmskioldia tettensis. It has a more upright growth habit than H. sanguinea.
