The Albuca species are perennial , herbaceous plants . These geophytes grow with variable, underground or above-ground bulbs , which are usually spherical and only rarely depressed spherical. The brick-like onion scales are fleshy. The front of the flowers appearing, feeding or rarely evergreen foliage leaves are designed very variable. They are arranged in rosettes, petal-round to flattened and straight or arched.

The inflorescence stem is provided with pointed bracts (bracts). The inflorescence is racemose . The upright flower stalks are of different lengths. The upright or nodding flowers are radial symmetry and threefold. Its six band-shaped bracts are green, white or yellow with a green central stripe. The three outer, spread out tepals are not fused together. The inner tepals are pulled together like a hood and cover the stamens and ovary . They have a large, terminal gland . Of the six stamens all are fertile or the three outer ones are sterile. The stamens are widened at their base and cover the ovary. The elongated, movable anthers are intrors. The elongated, upper ovary is triple, the placentation is central angular. The stylus is inverted-conical-prismatic, the stigma head- shaped or conical with three triangular fringed lobes.

The ovate-triangular, loculicidal capsule fruits are triple. The flat seeds are black and shiny.

Systematics and distribution

The genus Albuca is distributed from Africa to the Arabian Peninsula . Its main distribution area is southern Africa with 128 species .

The genus Albuca was established by Carl von Linné in 1762 in the second edition of Species Plantarum . The botanical name of the genus Albuca is derived from the Latin word albucus for ' Affodill ' and refers to the similarity of some species with Affodill. Synonyms for Albuca L. are: Albugoides Medik. , Stellarioides medic. , Coilonox Raf. , Ethesia Raf. , Nemaulax Raf. , Trimelopter Raf. , Ardernia Salisb. , Branciona Salisb. , Falconera Salisb. , Monotassa Salisb. , Osmyne Salisb. , Pallastema Salisb. , Taeniola Salisb. , Urophyllon salisb. , Igidia Speta .

The genus Albuca belongs to the tribe Ornithogaleae in the subfamily Scilloideae within the family Asparagaceae . It was placed in the Hyacinthaceae and Liliaceae families.

The genus Albuca includes around 150 species:

Albuca acuminata Baker (Syn .: Albuca convoluta E.Phillips ): It is from Namibia to the south through Namaqualand to the Little Karoo in the South African provinces of the North and Western Cape to Mossel Bay. In some areas the populations are continuously decreasing, but this does not endanger this relatively widespread species.
Albuca adlami Baker : Little is known about this species, only that thereis supposed to bea herbarium from South Africa.
Albuca affinis Baker : It occurs only in the South African province of North Cape . Your stocks are considered stable.
Albuca albucoides (Aiton) JCManning & Goldblatt : This endemic only occurs in Gouda in the Western Cape . It thrives in fynbos on stony alluvial soils. Of the only two known locations, one isendangeredby continuous overgrazing . Large areas have already been lost.
Albuca amboensis (Schinz) Oberm. : It occurs in Namibia and Botswana.
Albuca amoena (Batt.) JCManning & Goldblatt : It occurs in the north-western Sahara of Morocco and Algeria.
Albuca anisocrispa Mart.-Azorín & MBCrespo : This endemic occurs from Alicedale to the Fish River Valley in the Eastern Cape . It thrives in the "Albany Thicket" and in the savannah on sandy soils in the thicket and in the "Thornveld". About 5% of today's stocks are threatened by agriculture. The specimens are always individually and so there are only a few collections, it is assumed that they are overlooked and that there are more locations than previously known.

It thrives in the "Albany Thicket" on sandy soils at low altitudes of 0 to 300 meters. Only five to ten stocks are suspected. All three known sites are in protected areas and are therefore not endangered. Similar habitats in its potential area have been lost to at least 35% due to agriculture and understanding, and this trend seems to continue. There are very few collections (for example 2011 and 2014) because their stocks are very small and this species is difficult to find.

Albuca nana Schönland : This species is only known from the type material that was collected over 100 years ago at Redhouse in the Eastern Cape. This area has beencompletely transformedby urbanization and industrial expansion in the City of Port Elizabeth . It can be assumed that this species became extinct. No revision has yet been carried out for this family group and it could be that herbarium material was incorrectly determined and it was perhaps collected several times. It could be that field research missed it. Some species found only in the Port Elizabeth area have been declared extinct and have been found around the city in recent years. The low chance of a rediscovery means that it is not yet listed as extinct in the Red List of Endangered Plant Species in South Africa. It was found in the Albany thicket at the time.

Albuca ovata (Thunb.) JCManning & Goldblatt : It is relatively widespread from Brandvlei to the Bokkeveld Plateau and Sutherland in the Northern and Western Cape. It thrives in the Nama and Succulent Karoo on stony slopes and plains. The Roggeveld area suffers from overgrazing and this endangers many species, but this is less of a problem for poisonous species, so overgrazing may not be a major problem for this species. Little is known of this taxonomically problematic species. Only six herbarium specimens of this species were found. The area of distribution has not been studied botanically and therefore it may be that this species has been overlooked so far; it is not believed that this species is as rare as the few herbarium specimens would suggest.
Albuca papyracea J.C. Manning & Goldblatt : It occurs in the Western Cape. Your stocks are considered stable.
Albuca paradoxa Dinter : It is distributed from Namibia via the North Cape to the Western Cape.
Albuca patersoniae Schönland : Little is known about this species and no revision has yet been made for this family group and it may be that it is only a synonym of Albuca setosa . This species was last collected in 1959. It is said to occur from Port Elizabeth to East London in the Eastern Cape and thrive in the "Coastal Thornveld". This area has been heavily modified for industrial expansion and urbanization, and it will continue to do so.
Albuca paucifolia (U.Müll.-Doblies & D.Müll.-Doblies) JCManning & Goldblatt : There are two subspecies:

Albuca prolifera J.H.Wilson : This species is only known from its type collection from 1898 in the Baakens River valley in what is now the urban area of Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape. This site has been completely lost due to habitat loss and degradation due to the expansion of the city. The description of the locality at that time represents the habitat as Albany thickets on clay slopes in the river valley near the river bank. There has not yet been a revision for this family group and it may be that, just like other related species that occur or were found in this area, it is Confusion has occurred or that it has been overlooked. Some species in this area had already been declared extinct and were rediscovered. Botanists are currently unsure whether this species is extinct; In any case, no living specimen is known in the investigations between 2006 and 2012.
