About Albuca cooperi Baker

Albuca cooperi Baker is a geophytic plant that grows to between 30 and 60 centimeters tall. It has an ovoid bulb, which typically bears thin fibers around its upper portion; these fibers form from the persistent leftover remnants of the plant's leaf-tunics. This species produces only 2 to 4 leaves, which are smooth, slender, linear, and channeled. The leaves clasp the stem and have a warty texture at their base. A slender peduncle ends in a loose, open raceme inflorescence. The flowers are nodding (drooping), pale yellow, and marked with broad green central stripes. In some specimens, the septa have a faint crest.
