Albuca concordiana flower and buds

The fragrant flowers of Albuca concordiana grow in a short, few-flowered raceme at the top of an erect flowering stem. The flowers are yellow with broad green keels visible on both surfaces of the six spreading tepals. The flowers face outwards from the stalk and don’t nod.

The six stamens are all topped by short, oblong, yellow anthers, their filaments arising from below the superior green ovary in the flower centre. The style is slightly longer than the stamens, ending in a chunky stigma.

The flowers resemble those of A. suaveolens, a species that does not have spiralling leaves and is distributed over much the same area (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; iNaturalist).
