Ornithogalum pulchrum?


Andrew Harvie

An Ornithogalum that came from Namibia, near the Brandburg.

If anyone can help with a name it would be appreciated. While in South Africa I tentatively came up with the name O. pulchrum. The problem was that reading the literature was weeks after seeing the plants and not easy to ID a plant from memory.

The plants are robust, inflorescence about 1.5m tall. BTW the leaves are not serrated, just a result of reducing the size of a large image.
