Albuca setosa outer tepals spreading

Albuca setosa, previously known as A. pachychlamys has been described by Michael Lock in Xyridaceae as the smaller form of A. kirkii that is found in Tanzania, but the distribution of that is probably wider. 

Unlike many Albuca species that have pendulous flowers, the flowers of this one face up. The flowers are white with green keels on their tepals. There is flower fragrance, a scent of spicy vanilla. Flowers grow on long pedicels in a flat-topped raceme. The inner tepals stay together and erect, while the outer three open widely. 

Blooming in South Africa occurs from late winter to after midsummer (Euston-Brown and Kruger, 2023; Manning, 2009; Pooley, 1998; iNaturalist; www.pacificbulbsociety.org).
