This member of the Hyacinthaceae family was
given this name by Selmar Schönland in 1910. It is found in southern South
Africa, growing in a well
drained soil with some water and some to lots of sun. The bulb
can grow to two centimetres, the plant up to 20 centimetres tall and
the inflorescence with the greenish white and yellow flowers up to 40
centimetres.
The genera name is in honour of
the Swiss botanist Prof. Werner de Lachenal (Warnerus de la
Chenal), 1739-1800. The species name as it originates from
Angola - which I can't find records of.
*)Accordantly to the latest taxonomic system; APG IV 2016, Hyacinthaceae
is
now part of
the Asparagaceae. |
