A query came via the PBS website from a botanist working on a flora of Libya, to identify a Romulea sp. found there. He has now sent me a set of excellent photos, but I can't seem to copy and paste them individually even within my system, so I can't post one here. There is one Romulea reported from Libya, R. cyrenaica. These photos show a member of the R. bulbocodium group, but with very striking dark purple and bright yellow stripes on the reverse of the tepals. If someone can comment, I will forward the whole message to you, with the 6 .jpg attachments.

Send the photos to me and I'll try to post them here.
Here are the images of Jane's mystery Romulea.
Hi, I told the guy that I would ask. Oron Peri says it seems bulbocodium to him, I have not yet seen bulbocodium but the photos of Spanish plants are different...

Hi,
I found your conversation looking for information on Libyan Romulea.
This Romulea doesn't correspond for me to R. bulbocodium s.s. As i contribute to a research project with objective to study Romulea species in the Mediterranean, I would be interestdd to contact the photograph. Do you think it is possible ?
Thanks
The inquiry was sent to PBS by naser hasy <hasynaser@gmail.com>.
Many thanks !
Hi, Virgile.
I have a few Romulea with field data in case you want material. Variicolor from Malta, clusiana from Gibraltar, assumptionis from Mallorca. I am expecting more clusiana from Galicia.
