Abstract

Bulbine spongiosa (Asphodelaceae), a geophyte endemic to sheer rock faces of Olifantsrivier, Badspoort (Western Cape), South Africa, is described. Tubers proliferate filling crevices. The leaves are ascending, distichous and fragile, the inner portions of which are distinctly spongy. The description of this taxon forms part of an extensive survey of cliff-dwelling succulent and bulbous-succulent taxa in South Africa and Namibia (Van Jaarsveld, 2011).
