Post by: tozi on May 05, 2014, 01:47:24 PM

Can someone identify this plant? It is from Bolivia (Pucara).

I thought it might be Lapiedra but it doesn't have that central green ovary which yours has,

Looks like something close to what I used to know as Brodiaea.

Or even a Scilla. The flower/capsule structure is similar to that of Scilla peruviana (oh but that's from South Africa isn't it, not Sth America).
