Bulbine margarethae is a small, clump-forming succulent geophyte from the Knersvlakte limestone region of South Africa, growing from a tuber with a rosette of fleshy leaves. It needs sharp drainage, full sun and a dry rest period, and it is rare in the wild.
Bulbine margarethae is a small, tuberous, perennial plant that often grows in clusters and is assigned to the Asphodelaceae. Its succulent leaves with a net-shaped marking are set as a rosette. It has flowers in a lax raceme with six yellow tepals and six filaments with many long perpendicular hairs. This species grows on the Knersvlakte, Northern Cape province of South Africa. The species is considered vulnerable because of limestone mining on 3 of 4 known locations.
Bulbine margarethae grows in the cracks of limestone outcrops in the Knersvlakte just north of Vanrhynsdorp, Northern Cape province of South Africa. It can be found together with Brunsvigia radula, Antimima pygmaea, Antimima evoluta, Antimima dualis and Babiana carminea. It is a vulnerable species that is only known from four locations, at three of which limestone is mined, and this species is vulnerable for plant hunting.
