Albuca (whitish; the color of the first-described species). Liliaceae. Tender bulbs from the Cape of Good Hope allied to Ornithogalum, and treated in the same way. Bulb tunicated: lvs. all radical, flat or terete: fls. large, yellow, white or green, in single racemes: perianth of 3 outer oblong more or less spreading parts and 3 inner shorter connivent segms.; stamens 6, the filaments often winged; stigma 3-lobed: fr. a 3-valved caps.— S. and Trop. Afr. and Arabia. There are a good number of species of Albuca (about 30), but few are much known to cultivation, and none of them is apparently planted to any extent in this country. Albucas are late spring and summer bloomers, producing attractive white or yellow flowers. In mild climates, they may be carried over winter in a frame or with a good protection of litter. Propagation is by offsets or by seeds. Some of the species are hothouse plants. Allied to Urginea, to which the A. major of catalogues probably belongs. Numbers of hybrids have been produced.
