I was not able to discover any source for Speea seed. Perhaps some of our South American members might be able to obtain seed for you. The most informative article I could find on the genus was http://chlorischile.cl/Monocotiledoneas/… It puts the plant in the family Gilliesiaceae which APG III reduces to a tribe in subfamily Allioideae of Amaryllidaceae. It will help with your spelling to know that the genus was named in honor of WWI admiral Maximilian Graf von Spee. It is interesting to note that in Chile he is remembered as the winner of the battle of Coronel off the coast of Chile, whereas in the UK he is remembered as the loser of the battle of the Falklands.
