Another treasure from the display bench of the cool glasshouse of Cambridge Botanic Garden, UK, is Daubenya stylosa.This rare, bulbous, South African plant has a very restricted range that is threatened by various forms of agriculture.

Plant of the Day
Wednesday 8 February 2017
In the Alpine Glasshouse at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Wisley Gardens, Surrey, UK, the Daubenya aurea was blooming with red or yellow flowers. Both colours occur growing in the wild in South Africa, on the dolerite clay flats in areas of winter rainfall. The species is pollinated by monkey beetles.

idk if you've been to the relevant parts of South Africa (roggevelt escarpment) but thoughts on genus Daubenya? I got some alba and aurea seeds from the local chaotic neutral mail order place that i'll try growing as houseplants.
I was around there (near Tankwa Karoo) in December but the parks were rained out so I didn't get to check out the wildlife that much, plant or animal, although I spent a while up in the mountain passes.
No experience growing Daubenya, especially not from seed, that sounds tricky. They're quite rare, too, so I don't think I've seen them in the wild the handful of times I've been near the Karoo. Good luck with getting them to grow, though!
