Hello Rimmer,
That is a very beautiful plant, have never seen it or heard of it before.

This came in BX 394 (April 2016) as Cyrtanthus sp. Evergreen. Reported to have never bloomed for the donor, only multiplying by offsets. It was reported to have been given to the donor by A well respected bulb guy.

It finally bloomed today as a large Habranthus. Perhaps a seed got mixed in the sand plunge

I have been calling this large pink with a green throat as  Habranthus × floryi  'green base'

It will be replanted with the other rain lilies
