I received these three plants together as Haemanthus coccineus but they are all different. 

https://flickr.com/photos/32952654@N06/… <https://flickr.com/photos/32952654@N06/…> show all 3 together

https://flickr.com/photos/32952654@N06/… <https://flickr.com/photos/32952654@N06/…>  this one has white hairs on the leaves with red stripes near the base. 

https://flickr.com/photos/32952654@N06/… <https://flickr.com/photos/32952654@N06/…> this one has smooth leaves with no basal red marks

https://flickr.com/photos/32952654@N06/… <https://flickr.com/photos/32952654@N06/…> this one has smooth leaves with red stripes near the base

looking back through the list i came across an entry  from 29 Oct 2012 
Haemanthus dasyphyllus from the Kamiesberg - "both surfaces light green with a few red bars .... mostly covered with long soft white hairs" Further on in the description the hairs are described as "long, soft and shaggyā€¯  from page 106 of the Haemanthus revision by Dr Dee Snijman.

could the first plant be Haemanthus dasyphyllus ?  I do not have access to the Snijman book

Can anyone help on the id of these other Haemanthus ?

Thank you
