Fusifilum

Fusifilum physodes (Jacq.) Raf. ex Speta, syn. Drimia physodes (Jacq.) Jessop is native from southwest Namibia to the Cape Province, South Africa. World Flora Online lists many other synonyms. The photos below by Dylan Hannon show Drimia physodes from Laingsburg: Swartberg Pass, ex Silverhill. In some ways not unlike a miniature Urginea maritima. It is summer dormant.
