Rhadamanthus platyphyllus B.Nord. (syn. Drimia platyphylla) is a bulb which comes from Namaqualand, the Richtersveld, parts of the Little Karoo, and Caledon, near the south coast. The leaves are grey-ish blue, with tiny, almost indistinct flowers. The plant is a winter grower, dropping its leaves and then produces flowers in early summer a few weeks after the leave have dropped. Conditions for growing Massonia should be suitable for growing this genus. I grow this plant in 75% pumice and 25% oak leaf mold. Too much water on the leaves can cause rotting. Seeds should be sown in the fall in a well drained mix (I used 50% perlite and 50% organic material). Cover the seeds with a thin layer of seedling mix. They should germinate in about 2 weeks. Seedlings tend to get a lot of water during the rainy season but do not seem to be susceptible to rotting like adult leaves. The photos below by Nhu Nguyen shows 1) tiny black seeds, 2) seedlings 3) the leaves, 4) buds, 5) flowers, and 6) empty pods. After dormancy, I brought the plant indoors where it started to bloom and form seeds without any pollinator. I only have one plant so the plant must be self-fertile. Notice the plant's size relative to the pumice particles. The leaves are tiny, although the bulb is sizable.
Rhadamanthus platyphyllus B.Nord. (后归为学名 Drimia platyphylla)是一种来自于纳马夸兰, 产地分布在the Richtersveld, the Little Karoo, Caledon, 南海岸附近 的球根植物。叶子偏灰蓝色，开小到难以辨认的花朵。这种植物是冬季生长种，叶片枯萎掉落，然后就会在早夏（当地）的之后几周开始孕育花朵，种植这个属可以去参考一些种植Massonia的条件 。我把这些植物种在75%的轻石和25%的橡朽木之中。大水可以引导其出根。种子应该被播种在疏松透水的介质之中（我使用了50%的珍珠岩和50%的有机质材料）。用一些细小的介质来覆盖种子。他们应该会在两周内发芽。实生苗更倾向于在雨季接受更多的水分，并且成体的叶子看着并没有那么容易腐烂。 以上的这些照片由 Nhu Nguyen 提供（图1）细小的种子（图2）实生苗（图3）叶子（图4）花苞（图5）空的种夹。在休眠之后，我把植物挪到了室内，他们在哪儿更易开花，并且授粉得到种子、我只有一株这样的植物，所以他肯定可以自花。所以说值得注意的是，植物的尺寸似乎和轻石的尺寸也有这一定的关联性，尽管他的球根还是有点尺寸的，但他的叶子也就是很小。 资料来自于pacific bulb society，本人(味可)亲自翻译，欢迎指正不足。
