Bulbine

Bulbine is a genus of plants in the family Asphodelaceae and subfamily Asphodeloideae,[3] named for the bulb-shaped tuber of many species.

[6][2] Bulbine is a genus of succulent plants with flowers borne in lax or compound racemes.

[6] Species of Bulbine resemble Haworthia and Aloe in appearance, but with soft, fleshy leaves and tuberous roots or a caudex.

They are shrubs, weedy perennials, dwarf geophytes (including Bulbine lolita, the smallest of all succulent Monocots [7]), and soft annuals.

The leaves die and drop, the roots contract into the caudex, and the aboveground parts wither.
