A review of 'The Genus Lachenalia'

Serendipity that John reproduced the illustration of L. orchioides v.
orchioides in his review. It was so drastically different from the plants I
grow (from Silverhill seed) that I immediately repaired to the internet in
a panic. Luckily, the wiki came to the rescue once again, showing an
incredible diversity of flower that I suspect would be difficult to detect
in herbarium specimens.

Compare mine to the illustration in John's review:
