Abstract

Bulbine sceletium (Asphodelaceae), only known from cliffs along the lower Great Fish and Mzimvubu Rivers, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, is described. Its decumbent large greyish-green leaf rosettes are up to 300mm in diameter with persistent ovate to broadly ovate-acuminate leaves 300 × 140mm, drying from the tips into a thin papery striate persistent skeleton. The description of this taxon forms part of an extensive survey of cliff-dwelling succulent and bulbous-succulent taxa in South Africa and Namibia. A table is provided with a selection of characters of similar species of Bulbine in the Eastern Cape. A key is also provided to the cliff-dwelling Bulbine species of the summer rainfall parts of South Africa.
