Abstract
Summary: Bulbine vandermerwei(Asphodelaceae), a geophyte endemic to aeolian sand deposits south-east of Worcester (Western Cape), South Africa, is described. The tubers proliferate forming dense clusters bearing ascending somewhat dorsiventrally glaucous flattened leaves. The description of this taxon forms part of an ecological research project of the Worcester Robertson region (Western Cape) by one of us (A. le Roux). Zusammenfassung: Bulbine vandermerwei (Asphodelaceae), ein Geophyt, der in äolischen Sandablagerungen südöstlich von Worcester (Western Cape), Südafrika, endemisch ist, wird beschrieben. Die Knollen teilen sich und bilden dichte Gruppen, die aufsteigende, dorsiventral etwas abgeflachte, glauke Blätter tragen. Die Beschreibung dieses Taxons ist Teil eines ökologischen Forschungsprojekts der Region Worcester Robertson (Western Cape) durch einen von uns (A. le Roux).
