Romulea camerooniana

Romulea camerooniana, previously R. campanuloides, is a small, cormous perennial, probably between 15 cm and 22 cm in height. The slender leaves are cylindrical to channelled on top.

The flowers grow solitary on stiffly erect scapes. Pale yellow cups form the centre of the attractive pink to magenta, occasionally white flowers. Few fine dark lines are usually present from the base of the corolla cup to beyond the throat. Flower forms differ in size. Flowering happens from around midsummer to autumn.

The species distribution is in the east of South Africa, the Drakensberg of the far north of the Eastern Cape, the west of KwaZulu-Natal, the east of the Free State and the escarpment in Mpumalanga.

The habitat is montane grassland. The habitat population is deemed of least concern early in the twenty first century (iNaturalist; JSTOR; https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org; http://redlist.sanbi.org).
