The name Eriospermum 'albertii' is temporarily used until a proper description is done, or is found in archives.
This interesting bulb maybe related to Eriospermum corymbosusm, but is larger and the peduncle taller, to name but two differences. It does share the same leaf colour though.

Originally discovered by Gerhard Marx this Eriospermum is found west of Prince Albert. The leaves resemble Eriospermum capense to some degree but are distinctly greyish-green as compared to green of the latter. I have not found any reference to this plant in the thesis of Pauline Perry, but could have missed it due to the large amount of data there.

The peduncle is distinctly succulent and by estimate only around 10 cm high. The yellow to maroon flowers are surprisingly attractive.
