Ledebouria sp2 ‘paucifolia »

This Ledebouria, offered under the provisional name "sp2 'paucifolia'", likely corresponds to Ledebouria pauciflora (the catalogue epithet probably being a variant spelling), though exact identification remains uncertain. This small South African species forms clumps of glossy, tunicated bulbs producing narrow, fleshy, olive-green leaves marked with darker spots. In spring it produces slender stems bearing small, bell-shaped, pale green to mauve flowers, few in number (hence the epithet "pauciflora"). It requires a bright position, well-drained succulent-type soil, and dry dormancy.
