Nicipe (Ornithogalum) R140520A(nova) is a small bulb seemingly related to Nicipe lithopsoides.
The plants are however notably smaller and more proliferous than the type variety. Nicipe lithopsoides var. R140520 also has shorter peduncles and fewer flowers.
They only seem to occur on 'lava cemented' ferricrete conglomerate.
The plants occur north of Oudtshoorn and also east of Oudtshoorn near Dysselsdorp.
To my knowledge this bulb has not been described yet.
