Ornithogalum corrugata - West of Ladismith
I could find very little information about this bulb and I am not even sure if the identification is correct.
Distribution unknown to me.
It is essentially based on the following video by 'Bulbophile' on youtube.

Other identifications include Ornithogalum tortuosum, but I do not think the latter is applicable in this case but cannot be sure.
Dr. Mario Martínez Azorín from the University of Alicante in Spain now includes many of the small flowering Ornithogalum in a new genus Nicipe.
The bulbs at this population can be very attractive in habitat with the grey green leaves turning and twisting in all directions. In cultivation the leaves tend to be greener and twisting sideways.
