yellow flowered bulb

Last year I was trying to find out what this bulb was. I was given the
name, however, I didn't put a label with the plant and the computer died
at some stage, so have no record of it.
I think it is a Sparaxis, but I cannot see it in the Wiki. I seem to
remember that usually Sparaxis does not come true from seed. Except one
from Italy I think.
This one definitely comes true from seed, have been weeding the
seedlings out, which were coming up in a garden away from this plant, so
wasn't sure what the bulbs were, planted them in a spot where I would
remember them and they are the same as the parent plant. So they spread!
The flowers have a brown sheath over them before they open. Which I
remember is typical of this bulb.
They are a nice looking lot of flowers in the garden so I will keep them.
So who knows what it is? It is somewhere on the Wiki.
