I looked up Gethyllis grandiflora in the Amaryllis book. It says this about the flowers: "it has an erect, broadly cylindrical perianth tube, pure white, ovate tepals, sometimes flushed with magenta on the undersides . The stamens are arranged in six groups with six to eight anthers per group, the erect centrally situated style reaching to below the level of the anthers." Also the flowers are reported to be long lived. It is found in the Richtersveld. So I think you can safely call it grandiflora. A quick look of the other Richtersveld species with similar leaves have different aerial sheaves. Gethyllis is a genus with a lot of species not illustrated by either drawings or photographs however. As I have time, I'll change the description on the wiki and add Kenneth's photo of the flower. iNaturalist doesn't have any photos of that species that shows the flower. With the wiki it is often challenging to figure out the source of the original information. Since this species in not in the Cape province and isn't in my Namaqualand books, before the Amaryllis book I would have found it difficult to find information about it. Hopefully we'll all be receiving our field guides soon. Gethyllis was a topic of the week and there was a lot of great information about it: https://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbslist/2004-July/… And I think Mike Mace added a lot of that to the wiki which was a lot of work. But I don't believe there was descriptions of individual species in any of those posts.
