'''''Bulbine''''' is a genus of [[plant]]s in the family [[Asphodelaceae]] (occasionally [[Liliaceae]]&nbsp;<ref>{{cite web |url=http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=BULBI |title=PLANTS Profile: ''Bulbine'' Wolf |publisher=[[United States Department of Agriculture]] |accessdate=December 29, 2009}}</ref>), named for the bulb-shaped [[tuber]] shown by many of the species&nbsp;<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.anbg.gov.au/gnp/interns-2003/bulbine-bulbosa.html |title=''Bulbine bulbosa'' | work=Growing Native Plants |publisher=[[Australian National Botanic Gardens]] |accessdate=December 28, 2009 |date=June 19, 2003}}</ref>. ''Bulbine'' is found chiefly in [[Southern Africa]], with few species extending into [[tropical Africa]] and a few species in [[Australia]]&nbsp;<ref name="SANBI">{{cite web |url=http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantab/bulbineabys.htm |title=''Bulbine abyssinica'' |accessdate=December 28, 2009 |work=[[PlantZAfrica]] |publisher=[[South African National Biodiversity Institute]]}}</ref>.

''Bulbine'' is characterised by having flowers borne in lax or compound [[raceme]]s, and by being [[succulent plant|succulent]]&nbsp;<ref name="SANBI"/>. The flowers are mostly yellow, with bearded [[stamen]]s, although sometimes white, orange or pink&nbsp;<ref name="SANBI"/>. Several species are grown in gardens, although the most common species in the horticultural trade is ''[[Bulbine frutescens|B. frutescens]]''&nbsp;<ref name="SANBI"/>. Species of ''Bulbine'' resemble ''[[Haworthia]]'' and ''[[Aloe]]'' in appearance, but with soft fleshy leaves, many with [[tuber]]ous [[root]]s or a [[caudex]]. The various species grow as [[shrub]]s, rough tough [[weed]]y [[perennial]]s, dwarf [[geophyte]]s, and soft [[annual]]s. Many of the dwarf species have small, dome-shaped tubers.
 +
 +
[[Dormancy]] starts in late spring and lasts until mid autumn, but can vary between species and in different conditions. Leaves die and drop and the roots contract into the caudex leaving no visible sign of life on the surface. [[Propagation]] is mostly by seed although [[cutting]]s are possible as some species will form multiple heads or offsets.

Bulbine is a genus of plants in the family Asphodelaceae (occasionally Liliaceae [1]), named for the bulb-shaped tuber shown by many of the species [2]. Bulbine is found chiefly in Southern Africa, with few species extending into tropical Africa and a few species in Australia [3].

Bulbine is characterised by having flowers borne in lax or compound racemes, and by being succulent [3]. The flowers are mostly yellow, with bearded stamens, although sometimes white, orange or pink [3]. Several species are grown in gardens, although the most common species in the horticultural trade is B. frutescens [3]. Species of Bulbine resemble Haworthia and Aloe in appearance, but with soft fleshy leaves, many with tuberous roots or a caudex. The various species grow as shrubs, rough tough weedy perennials, dwarf geophytes, and soft annuals. Many of the dwarf species have small, dome-shaped tubers.

Dormancy starts in late spring and lasts until mid autumn, but can vary between species and in different conditions. Leaves die and drop and the roots contract into the caudex leaving no visible sign of life on the surface. Propagation is mostly by seed although cuttings are possible as some species will form multiple heads or offsets.


Read about Bulbine in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Bulbine (Greek, botóos, a bulb). Uliaceae. More than 20 species of half-hardy African and Australian plants, allied to Anthericum, but practically not cultivated in this country.

Flowers showy, the petals distinct, 1-nerved, spreading and often recurving in age; stamens shorter than the perianth. Some of the species are bulbous, and require the general treatment given Cape bulbs (see Bulbs); but none of the bulbous species is known here.
