This member of the Hyacinthaceae family was described by Linnaeus, and is
found in the Cape Province, South Africa on the sand plains. It's a
winter-grower, and doesn't need much water in the summer. The bulb will
grow to 25 centimetres and the corkscrew leaves to 50 centimetres. The
fine bell-shaped flowers are white-greenish. It can be reproduced both
by clusters and seeds.
I also seen it as a Liliaceae (MoBot, APNI), Hyacinthaceae (IPNI, Uni of Connecticut).
This is a winter grower.
