Identification of bulb succulent?

Post by GeorgeD »

Hello all,
Was wondering if anyone might help me with the identification of this bulb succulent.
Google image searches portray it as an Albuca.
Any thoughts appreciated!

Cheers,
George

Hello George,
would you mind adding another picture of the caudex? -- I can't discern if they are structured or not but if so how.
Are the leaves flat, or do the have a C-shaped or a D-shaped cross-section? (Hope that is the correct word.)
That would make things easier.

Nachtkrab,
They are C-shaped in cross section. The caudex appears somewhat fleshy in nature and splits by division, much like Bowiea volubilis.
I looked at Callibanus and I thought that had a woody and cracked caudex?

The leaves are also fleshy/succulent and not tough or strap-like.
I'll send a pic to your email nachtkrab, as I can attach a pic here.
