This member of the
Hyacinthaceae family was given this name by Franz Speta in
2001. It is found
in south western South Africa and Namibia, growing in a well drained soil with
little water and lots of sun. The caudex can grow to 3,5
centimetres in diameter, the entire plant to seven centimetres in
height, 20 with the inflorescence. The
flowers are bright yellow with a greenish stripe.
The genera name from From Old
French coillon 'testicle'. The species is named after the
location it first was found; Concordia.
*)Accordantly to the latest taxonomic system; APG IV 2016, Hyacinthaceae
is
now part of
