| Description | Albuca crispa is a new species of section Falconera series Trianthera with crispulate leaves from the Great Karoo, known at least since 1947 but overlooked until now. A second new species. A grandis. from the southwestern Cape was previously included in A. fragrans Jacq. (section Falconera series Falconera). It is a robust species that flowers in winter and early spring and the styles are rugulose with ± isodiametric epidermal cells, unlike typical A. fragrans which is a more slender species flowering in early summer and with derived, smooth styles with fusiform epidermal cells. The recent discovery of a flowering population matching the type of A. albucoides (Aiton) J.C.Manning Goldblatt (subgenus Osmyne) allows for a full description and illustration of this poorly know n and taxonomically neglected species that has often been included in A. suaveolens (Jacq.) J.C.Manning Goldblatt. Lastly, examination of the type of A. reflexa Krause Dinter from Namibia shows it to be conspecific w ith Drimia indica (Roxb.) Jessop. | |
