Bulbine bruynsii is a small, deciduous bulbous succulent from the arid Knersvlakte of South Africa. It sits underground for most of the year and grows only in the winter rains, so it needs a dry dormant period and very sharp drainage.
Bulbine bruynsii is a species of plant in the genus Bulbine. It is endemic to South Africa.
It occurs in the vicinity of the Knersvlakte in the arid Namaqualand region, in the area between the Western Cape and Northern Cape Provinces, South Africa. Roughly twelve populations are known. Its natural habitat is open saline patches of quartz and clay flats, in "Hardeveld" vegetation.
