Albuca BB sp3 blanc?NI

This unidentified accession of the genus Albuca (Asparagaceae) is noted for a presumed white flower colour, with no further detail allowing species-level identification. Like other members of the genus, native mainly to the winter-rainfall regions of southern Africa, it grows from a tunicated bulb and produces fleshy, strap-shaped leaves, often coiled or erect depending on the species. The erect, unbranched flowering stem bears bell-shaped, six-tepalled flowers, here noted as white according to the accession code. Cultivation requires well-drained soil and a sunny exposure, with a pronounced dry dormancy after flowering.
