Arnold,

There's a good short article by Charles Craib on L. atrobrunnea here:

https://journals.co.za/doi/abs/10.10520/EJC113204

and you can download the 3-page PDF version (but may have to temporarily 
allow pop-ups for that site). ResearchGate allows downloading the first 
part of the Venter and Edwards paper revising Ledebouria in South Africa 
from 1998, which includes the publication of this species, and that has 
some good drawings showing the diagnostic features.

I thought my foliage lacked the undulate lower leaf margins, but a 
closer look today confirms they're there, just not as pronounced as in 
most pictures. I'll get some better images later this week as more 
flowers open.

Steve
