| 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. |
