Hi all I'm wondering if anybody could possibly help with the identification of two South African geophytes that I've collected this year. Any ideas as to what species of crinum grows in the coastal areas of Sodwana Bay, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa? I vaguely remember seeing flowers a few years ago and pink as the predominant colour seems to spring to mind. They grow in sand of beach sand consistency but the ones I found were growing about 2km inland. The leaves are quite long and broad and don't taper and they grow singly or in small scattered groups. The gladiolus corms I collected were from plants growing along the road leading to the cable car on the slopes of Table Mountain in March of this year.There seemed to be many plants scattered along the slopes. The interesting thing about the cormlets is that there are axillary and were borne along the along the flowering stems of the plant. Unfortunately there were no flowers to be seen though.
