Species of Bulb-shaped tuber
Stalked bulbine
Stalked bulbine (Bulbine frutescens) is an evergreen succulent that blooms from spring to summer with yellow, star-shaped flowers. Native to South Africa, this succulent makes a thick ground cover that forms wide-spreading clumps. The plant's name comes from the Greek word for "bulbous" - a misnomer because the stalked bulbine roots are not actually bulbs.

Golden lily
Golden lily (Bulbine bulbosa) is a perennial herb that has showy yellow flowers that have made it a popular ornamental plant. It is frequently grown in rockeries or containers and its flowers are especially rewarding in mass plantings. Golden lily is frequently placed on patios or close to homes because the flowers have a delightful fragrance. Be careful, though, as it is quite toxic to sheep and cattle.
Bushy bulbine
A small geophyte, with an underground stem, and a tuft of slender leaves that appear in a rosette above the ground. The leaves are slender, succulent and cylindrical (200mm long; 5mm broad). The 50 cm tall inflorescence appears in early Summer, or after rains. The yellow flowers are carried at the top of it. Like all Bulbine species, the stamens are distinctively tufted ("bearded").
Leek lily
It grows as an annual herb from 7 to 45 centimetres high, with yellow flowers.
