Mystery Strumaria, Hymenocallis, Androcymbium

I have Strumaria truncata in bloom right now, and it is very different from this mystery
flower. Flowers are pendant; leaves have no hairs. I think one of the characteristics of
the genus is the sheath around the base of the leaf clump. In S. truncata it is red.
Leo Martin asked me to add these pictures of a bulb he'd like help in
identifying that he thinks may be Strumaria discifera. It certainly fits
the description of this species in the Color Encyclopedia of Cape Bulbs.
Can anyone help? And can anyone help identify the other two bulbs that have
been on the Mystery Page for awhile?
