Tulbaghia

Tulbaghia is named after the former Dutch Governor at the Cape of Good Hope: Ryk Tulbach (died 1771). Tulbaghia is closely related to Allium. It is a small genus consisting of about 20 species with its home: South Africa. Natives use the rhizome of this plant as a liniment against rheumatism, or as an infusion rubbed on the forehead and said to give relief from headaches. Well-drained soil is required, otherwise it keeps well as a potted plant.
