Cyanella alba L.f. subsp. alba
Indigenous Endemic
Morphological description

Plants (80-)100-200 mm high. Leaves linear, 1-3 mm wide. Pedicels with bracteole in distal half. Flowers 3-9, white to pale pink. Anthers uniformly yellow. From: Goldblatt, P; Manning, JC. 2012. A revision of Tecophilaeaceae subfam. Tecophilaeoideae in Africa. Bothalia 42(1): 21-41. [CC BY]

Diagnostic description

Characterized by the long pedicels, (80-)100-200 mm long, with the bracteole inserted between one third and three-quarters along, and white or pale pink flowers flushed darker pink on the reverse. the anthers are uniformly yellow anthers, with the upper cluster free or coherent. Plants are often well grown, producing 3-9 flowers. The position of the bracteoles in the distal half of the pedicels distinguishes the subpsecies from subsp. minor from the Tanqua Basin to the south, which has the bracteoles sub-basal. From: Goldblatt, P; Manning, JC. 2012. A revision of Tecophilaeaceae subfam. Tecophilaeoideae in Africa. Bothalia 42(1): 21-41. [CC BY]
