Austronea species (A. vermiformis affinity?) Bo-wadrift Tanqua Karoo

Only one plant found 2013. I lost it - was a bit damaged. Unfortunately no seedlings. It was growing on a mountain slope. Rather slippery uncomfortable terrain.

Nicipe sp West of Prince Albert also Drielingskloof south of Laingsburg

West of Prince Albert on dry semi loose shale.

The leaf is very similar to Leopoort bulb . Also the flower anthers are similar. Just the colour is a bit different.

Nicipe Leopoort south of Oudtshoorn

Originally from Drielingskloof south of Laingsburg. I think it is the same as the Prince Albert bulb.
