Bowiea basics
Alberto Grossi (Fri, 16 Jan 2009 08:04:00 PST)

My volubilis grow in winter-spring and is stronger than kilimandsharica, growing in summer-autumn-winter.
My gariepensis grow in autumn-winter with glaucous stems, versus green of the former, white star flowers, versus green flowers.
There is a good comparative description on Flowering Plants of Africa, dealing with volubilis and gariepensis. But I have not found anything about kilimandsharica but the original description.
I'd like to know more. What is volubilis nana?

Hi All.
The bulbs of my kilimandsharica are really smaller than volubilis.
Gariepensis is a different plant.

Dear Alberto,
Sorry this doesn't really differentiate the various
'species'. Any good morphological characteristics? Key characters?

Thanks Jim
