Eriospermum is one of the more unusual South African geophyte genera and tends to be especially captivating to newcomers, particularly the enation-bearing species. Enations are specialized leaf outgrowths that arise directly from the surface of a single leaf, often producing forms that look completely alien. Their function isn’t fully understood, though the prevailing theory is that they increase surface area for moisture collection while limiting transpiration. We received this plant unlabeled, though it more closely resembles Eriospermum bowieanum, with the exception that the enations here are noticeably narrower. Unfortunately, the plant arrived without a collection number or associated data, so its precise origin and native range remain unknown. That said, it is clearly a winter grower, suggesting an origin in one of South Africa’s winter-rainfall regions. Like most members of the genus, this species produces only a single leaf during the growing season, highly modified into an unusual form. In this individual, the leaf presents as a cluster of long, slender, finger-like projections emerging from a small, cordate base.
