Dear Alberto, I agree, the recent key which I noted in outline is less than perfect for plants in cultivation. However, I doubt it will lead to endless confusion. It is a start for discussion of Ledebouria species and perhaps constructing a key for species in cultivation. It gives us a list of the species which Venter considered valid for South Africa and a suggestion of their habit. Not mentioned are the species outside South Africa.
