Dear All, In case you are new to this list since this url was posted I will repeat it and later add this url to the South African Romulea page: http://www.mnhn.fr/publication/adanson/a01n1a4.pdf It is a pdf file for the latest Romulea revision by Goldblatt and Manning. It is better than the Encyclopedia because it includes all South African species including ones from Namaqualand and the summer rainfall areas. It does however leave out the Mediterranean Romuleas so that makes using it to key out something a bit challenging. Please look at page 7 to get a wonderful diagram of the corm types. I keep harping on this, but it really is important. I have thought I had one nailed only to find out later in dormancy the corm is wrong so I then have to start over. Now I describe the corm in dormancy so when the plant is blooming I have a starting reference which really speeds up the process. I wanted to show a picture of this one because it is so commonly being offered in seed exchanges under the wrong name. I imagine there are quite a few people in this group growing it. I keep trying to grow Romulea bulbocodium from seed and so far it has never been it. Thanks Angelo for the pictures of it growing in the wild. The Romulea clusiana from Jane (great plant!) is so much more impressive than this little thing. I am sure the Mystery plant has to be the Romulea that Mary Wise has scoffed at. Romulea tabularis flowers are much bigger. R. minutiflora flowers are 7-15mm, R. tabularis are 15-35mm. R. minutiflora corms are elongated vertically with a high crescent-shaped basal ridge, R. tabularis corms have a crescent-shaped ridge but are not elongated vertically or just barely so. The leaves are different too with R. minutiflora having more, kind of in bundles. It looks like the bracts are different too. I am going to go out and look at mine to see if they fit Alberto's identification and check it with the other possibility the next time they open but am suspecting that they will and am grateful to know what they are. I will not be saving the seed and will be tossing my plants because of the weed potential. However if there is someone who wants them I will let them dry out and send them to Dell for the BX. Just contact me privately. Another Romulea equally small is Romulea ramiflora which is a Medit species. I thought it too could be a possibility but don't have a picture of it in my books. It is mentioned in Innes so I guess I should take that book out with me too and read the descriptions over slowly and try to make out what they are saying. Mary Sue
