Bulbine is a genus of plants in the subfamily of the Affodill family (Asphodeloideae) with around 50 to 60 species. Although the name Bulbine is derived from the Latin bulbus for tuber or onion, most species of this genus do not have such organs of persistence. Most of the species are found in the Capensis . Species that used to be grouped togetherin the genus Bulbinopsis are native to Australia . All species except Bulbine frutescens are very sensitive to frost.

description

Bulbine species are annual to perennial herbaceous plants ; many species are succulent plants. Some species form rhizomes or sprouts as persistence organs. The sessile, not hairy, parallel-veined, often lanceolate leaves are clustered together at the base of the plant. The leaf edges can be smooth, serrated or serrated.

They have racemose inflorescences . The stalked, hermaphrodite flowers are threefold. The six bracts are free. They have six stamens . Three carpels have become a top permanent ovary grown.

They form capsule fruits with triangular seeds, which are winged in some species.
