Trachyandra tabularis

Family: Asphodelaceae

Common names: Table Mountain cliff trachyandra, kranskool

The plants are solitary at first, dividing to form dense clusters. It has an herbaceous, subterranean, wiry rhizome, up to 300 mm long. The roots are yellow. Leaves 1–5, succulent, pendent, terete in young plants, becoming flat in mature plants, 750 × 2.5–7.0 mm, drooping from the basal rosette. The leaf is smooth, faintly striate, slightly translucent, the margin entire or with miniature fine teeth (denticulate).

Sowing instructions: Sow seed in autumn or winter in a sandy medium. First moisten the substrate with a fine rose. Cover the seed lightly with a thin layer of sand. Keep moist and in a shady position.  Germination is usually within 3 weeks and the young seedlings are relatively fast growing. Transplant the seedlings to individual containers once they are large enough to handle.
