The leaves by Hans Joschko.

    This member of the Amaryllidaceae family was given this name by Richard Anthony Salisbury in 1985. It is found in large part of South Africa, growing in a well drained soil with little to some water and lots of sun. The bulb can grow to two and a half centimetres in diameter, the two or three hairy leaves, appearing after the flowers, are from five to fifteen centimetres in length and vary from almost round to quite narrow. The flowers are white to real pale yellow.

The genera name from Latin; gemma; 'pearl' or 'bud'. The species name must be the same?
