Habranthus admin_jmgarg

Habranthus × floryi Traub, Pl. Life 7: 121 1951. ;
.

Lilies for ID : Nairobi, Kenya : 05APR21 : AK-04: 3 images.
These are very old pictures taken in Jan, 2009.

Had found these growing by the roadside.

Missed posting earlier.

Had done a lot of searching earlier.

Looks close to Habranthus Species.

Habranthus robustus?

Very few images are available on searching.

Perhaps a new addition for Eflora?

Habranthus brachyandrus can also be a possible id.

Maybe Habranthus × floryi as per comparative images at Pacific Bulb society.

But these were growing wild by the roadside, not cultivated.

Is there any native species in Kenya ?

I am not aware.

None of the species mentioned by you is likely to be found wild as per POWO 1 and POWO 2

Then it must have escaped from a garden close by.

Let us go with your suggested id.
