Any ideas on this lovely little thing, received from last years seed-ex as Olsynium junceum?

fermi de Sousa:
Looks like a South African geophyte - possibly Hesperantha

I replied you in the other thread, whatever is in your picture lacks the "Juncus-like" foliage, but judging by Google it's a common misidentification... See here for the real Olsynium junceum:
