Ledebouria coriacea (Ledebouria coriacea)
Description
Deciduous bulbous plant, mostly solitary or occurring in small clusters of individuals. Bulbs round, 30 × 30 mm, white, old bulb scales not persistent. Leaves 3–7 or more, triangular, 100–125 mm, green and variously marked with spots. 1 to 3, sometimes even more, long, unbranched inflorescences are produced in spring or early summer (August to December), erect at first, later hanging sideways. Numerous small florets (small flowers) are clustered along the peduncle (main flower stalk) in a bottle-brush-like manner. Each floret is attached to the peduncle by a slender green pedicel (flower stalk). Flowers are greenish purple, with violet anthers. After flowering, small, 3-lobed seed capsules develop, which split when mature, to release dark brown to blackish, glossy and wrinkled seeds.
