    Lachenalia punctata performing in sand
    Author: Ivan Lätti
    Photographer: Judd Kirkel Welwitch

    This determinedly flowering Lachenalia punctata plant has no dots on flowers or its stem, unconfirmed and hard to say on its small leaves not captured ideally in the photo, apart from one V-shaped tip.

    The long perianths show dark rims at their tips and shortly exserted stamens from about all the flowers, a big feast for pollinators on a short-term basis. The stamens of this species are sometimes included in the perianths. The outer perianth segments, there are six in two whorls of three, are notably shorter than the inner three.

    These plants can perform on west coast sand where nothing else keeps them (close) company (Manning, 2009; Bean and Johns, 2005; Manning and Goldblatt, 1996; iNaturalist).
