Deskripsi
A revision of Ledebouria in South Africa has revealed a number of undescribed species. This paper deals with two new species, Ledebouria atrobrunnea S.Venter and L dolomiticola S.Venter. Both species possess cylindrical bulbs, erect leaves (rare in Ledebouria) and prominent shoulders on the carpel apices. These synapomorphies are also seen in L viscosa Jessop, and its allies.
