Albuca cooperi is a species of small, perennial, bulbous plant from southern Africa.[1]
Description
The bulb is ovoid, usually with some thin fibres around the top, made from the persistent remnants of the leaf-tunics.
Albuca cooperi bears only 2-to-4 smooth, slender, linear leaves.
The slender peduncle terminates in a lax raceme. The flowers are drooping ('nodding') and pale yellow with green central stripes. [2]
