Ornithogalum concordianum
Originally described as an Albuca (Albuca concordiana) by Baker, this fun little bulb was later transfered to Ornithogalum, though both names are used. I posted about this plant last year and there are some excellent habitat photos here. They're fascinating plants but, at least for us, slow in cultivation.
