Pseudogaltonia is a monotypic genus in the Hyacinthaceae family that is similar to Galtonia. J. Manning, P. Goldblatt & M.F. Fay in a "A revised generic synopsis of Hyacinthaceae in sub-Saharan Africa, including new combinations and the new tribe Pseudoprospereae", Edinburgh Journal of Botany 60(3): 533-568 (2004) propose sinking this genus along with Albuca, Dipcadi, Galtonia, Neopatersonia, and Pseudogaltonia into Ornithogalum. This change seems to be accepted, but you still might find plants under the old names.
Pseudogaltonia clavata syn. Ornithogalum clavatum, is from Namibia. It produces huge bulbs that look like coconuts. Flowers are white and funnel-shaped. According to Harry Hay who grows this in England, his plants took 21 years from seed before they flowered. These photos by Bob Rutemoeller show it flowering in Harry's greenhouse May 2004. See Harry Hay's gardens. The close up of the flowers is taken through the greenhouse window as it was difficult to get close enough otherwise. The third photo from Jacob Knecht shows the bulb covered by coconut-like husks.
