Original illustration from Curtis's Botanical Magazine, published as plate 1450, 1st March 1812. Watercolour and pencil on paper. This species is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, where it was gathered by Sir Joseph Banks. It was also sent to Miller in 1754 by Van Royen, from Holland, and flowered in the Chelsea garden. This drawing was created from a specimen that bloomed on June 1811, in Mr Griffin's collection of Cape bulbs in South Lambeth
