Lachenalia

Lachenalia is a genus of bulbs in the Hyacinthaceae family, which are usually found in Namibia and South Africa. Most of these plants have a dormancy period, and the new roots of these plants will always grow every year.


Selected species
Lachenalia reflexa, commonly known as Yellow Soldier, is species of the genus Lachenalia native to South Africa. The plant flourishes where there is a winter rainfall and becomes dormant during dry seasons. In Australia, the species is an introduced weed. The Yellow Soldier species is so dangerous to natural flora and fauna that it has been placed on the national weed alert program, one of only 28 weeds to be recognised as extremely dangerous to natural bushland.
