Ledebouria atrobrunnea (was Spring in East Tennessee)

Arnold,

There's a good short article by Charles Craib on L. atrobrunnea here:

https://journals.co.za/doi/abs/10.10520/EJC113204

and you can download the 3-page PDF version (but may have to temporarily
allow pop-ups for that site). ResearchGate allows downloading the first
part of the Venter and Edwards paper revising Ledebouria in South Africa
from 1998, which includes the publication of this species, and that has
some good drawings showing the diagnostic features.

I thought my foliage lacked the undulate lower leaf margins, but a
closer look today confirms they're there, just not as pronounced as in
most pictures. I'll get some better images later this week as more
flowers open.

I found a couple of things hiding in the greenhouse, two pictures
attached. Lachenalia aloides v. vanzyliae, from Mary Sue in BX 151 back
in 2008. Not a good flowering, it's gotten shaded and needs to be moved.
Also, a pot labeled Ledebouria atrobrunnea, which got separated from the
Ledebouria herd and I'd forgotten I had, has a bunch of inflorescences
coming along. Foliage doesn't really look right, but they came from
Charles Craib at Penroc, and he appears to have known that species well,
so ...
