PLANTAE / PHANEROGAMAE / ANTHOPHYTA / ASPARAGALES / HYACINTHACEAE / URGINEOIDEAE / DRIMIA / PHYSODES
Plants deciduous, solitary or clumped. Bulb ovoid or subglobose, (20-)30-70(-100) mm diam., scales closely adherent, white or pink, drying papery and pale greyish brown or membranous and pinkish, sometimes accumulating as a short collar or neck. Leaves hysteranthous, (2)4 to 8, erect, mostly linear-lanceolate to lanceolate or oblanceolate, rarely linear or lorate, often twisted, 30-150(-200) x (2-)5-25(-37) mm, sometimes lightly folded and obscurely keeled below, inner leaves usually smaller and narrower than outer, acute or acuminate to subobtuse, bases sometimes cohering to form a short pseudostem, margins narrowly hyaline, sometimes crenulate, glabrous, dark green or glaucous, sometimes flushed red below, firm-textured. Inflorescence congested and subcapitate-racemose at flowering, but rachis elongating in fruit (up to 100 mm or more long) and ultimately cylindrical, 30-150(-250) mm tall, mostly 10- to 100-flowered, flowers mostly 0.5-1.0 mm apart at anthesis, but lower flowers up to 5(-10) mm apart in fruit; scape 0.8-2.0 mm diam., sparsely to densely scabridulous basally or throughout, or glabrescent (sometimes evidently glabrous), lower pedicels also rarely sparsely scabridulous; bracts ovate-cucullate to spathulate, 0.5-2.0 mm long, lower with spur to 1.5 mm long; pedicels spreading to suberect at anthesis, but often deflexed after flowering if not pollinated, (8-)15-20(-30) mm long, filiform and wiry, but thickening slightly in fruit. Flowers diurnal, rotate, unscented; tepals connate at base for 0.5-1.0 mm, spreading, minutely papillate-puberulous at base, lobes elliptic, 3-5 x 1.5-2.0 mm, apices penicillate, white with brown midrib. Filaments suberect to spreading, fusiform, (1.5-)2.0-3.0 mm long, papillate below bulge, white. Anthers medifixed, ovoid, 0.5-1.0 mm long, dehiscence longitudinal, yellow or brownish. Ovary ovoid-truncate, 1.5-2.5 mm long; style 1.3-2.0 mm long, white; stigma truncate-papillate. Capsules ovoid, 5-10 x 4-8 mm, 3-lobed. Seeds elliptic, circumferentially winged, 4-8 mm long, glossy black, testa minutely reticulate. From: Manning, JC; Goldblatt, P. 2018. Systematics of Drimia Jacq.

Bulbous geophyte, up to 100 mm tall, bulbs usually large. Leaves dry at flowering, erect, twisted, lanceolate. Flowers in a subcorymbose raceme on wiry pedicels mostly 15-25 mm long, rotate, white, open in the late afternoon, tepals 4-5 mm long, connate for ± 0.5 mm. Capsules globose, ± 9 mm diam.

A species of the semi-arid southwest, plants of Drimia physodes are often aggregated in clumps, and produce a congested, sometimes capitate raceme of flowers with pedicels (8-)15-20(-30) mm long, these often deflexed after flowering if not pollinated. The lower flowers are often some millimetres distant from one another, but the upper flowers are always closely aggregated, forming a characteristic pagoda-like raceme at the start of flowering. The rachis usually elongates during flowering and in floriferous individuals may reach 100 mm or more in length. The scape is scabridulous-puberulous below, although sometimes only sparsely and microscopically so. The leaves vary from linear to lorate, (2-)5-25(-37) mm wide, and are either flat or lightly concave above, with the bases sometimes cohering to form a short pseudostem. Drimia physodes may be difficult to separate from D. depressa where the ranges of the two species converge, but D. depressa, from the wetter eastern part of southern Africa, has a glabrous scape, a persistently congested raceme with the flowers remaining tightly clustered, and the lower flowers often with slightly longer bracts, 1-4 mm long with a longer spur up to 6 mm long. Drimia montana from the mountains around Queenstown in Eastern Cape is a generally smaller plant with shorter pedicels, (3.0-)5.0-6.5 mm long, and forms bulbils at the base of the parent bulb and at the tips of the roots.
