ID of bulb in flower : 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3)
I would like an ID for the following bulbous species. Provenance of collection unknown but it is an Indian species. Photos of the plant in cultivation.
One more image below after the flower is fully open. It has nice reflexed petals. The second photo in the previous mail is after removing the petals. If anyone can help zero in on the ID it would be great.

Thanks ... I would like you to help me solve the riddle on the ID of this plant. I am of the opinion its Drimia indica or some Urginea. If some experts can come in and help confirm the ID it would be great.

Drimia indica (=Urginia indica) to me.

Drimia indica in flowering, I think.
Drimia indica may be accepted name for Urgenia indica. Thank you for updating the nomenclature. Still there is a doubt which one correct? Dr. Hemadri discovered one species from Andhra Pradesh and given naming as Urgenia raogibikei Hemadri Sp. Nov.
Drimia indica is the accepted name, as per The Plant List (with full confidence!!!)
http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-304999
[If possible please send me a copy of the article to learn about the plant Urginea raogibikei. I understand (from the web) that it has been named in honor of GBK Rao, CMD of Pragati Resorts in AP for his remarkable contributions in plant conservation].
In an major revision of the genus in 2004 ( J.C.Manning & Goldblatt, Edinburgh J. Bot. 60: 556 2003 publ. 2004. and some earlier papers) all species of Urginea have been shifted to Drimia.
..., I have tried to find the name Urginea raogibikei, it is in none of the online databases including IPNI. By the way species novo is written only in the original paper, and when referring to it we don't use the term species novo, rather give the reference or simply year of publication. It is logical, because every species on earth was species novo when first published.
And yes if Urginia raogibikei has been published recently, some one may publish a combination for it under genus Drimia.
Yes, you are right. Dr. Hemadri has published in his Medicinal Plants Pragati Resorts Book. Dr. Hemadri was somewhat reserved person. I will try my level best to get that article.

The inflorescence emerges before flowers.
I think your identification is hundred percent correct.
Yes it is also common in Pine forests of Urrarakhand.
It produce long linear leaves and have a onion like bulb at base. Earlier known as Urginea indica.

Allium species from Rajasthan : 7 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (1)
Please help in identification of Allium species collected from the Rajasthan.
The Bulb is having itching effect if comes in contact to human body. 
Location: Radiyawas, Rajasthan (60 km from the Ajmer)
Area : Forest are having scrubby vegetation. 
Habitat: Hill Slopes with low soil depth 
it may be bulb of Drimia spp
I have been wondering about this bulb, first rejected the case  as no data in no data out kind of case ... but it lingered in my consciousness ... more as a a challenge..  since ....Deep in the recesses of memory it said its the gout medicine bulb... very poisonous.
itching is common when crystals are readily available to effect skin... such as in roots/fingers of Gloriosa lily and autumn crocus... COLCHICINE is the culprit...
But the member who submitted this gave no other information... was it looked for by him or was it accidental discovery or
did some local farmer or laborer or a student bring it to his attention ???? was someone poisoned???
...such details are important ...to know and must accompany the case when submitted ...   Then it would not have perhaps languished  in unknown territory for seven days...!!!!!
Back to my memory bank and question arose:  would it grow in Rajasthan a desert state?
googling got me the answers to my memory recesses and the desert question
Its most likely the Autum crocus or meadow saffron... flowers lack the magenta stigma of true saffron crocus flowers.
This is most likely Colchicum autumanle or Colchicum lueum  ....family Colchicaceae of Liliales order.
c. autumnale is  found in Eur-asian regions...
the bulb referred to in old vernacular Ayurvedic books is Colchicum luteum..
Ancients knew of it, to use as a herbal remedy for gout...
and even the bible has a quote about it...
I quote ...
The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. Isaiah 35:1-2 - "" end quote
i need to run,   cant type up the vernacular books names citations etc etc    etc ... you have to search yourself...
very toxic, behaving as arsenic and other toxins, no known antidote per wikipedia.
Hope this helps
The plant is from Rajasthan and during this seasons no leaf and flowers are available. The impact on human was given by a local person and he didn't allow me to touch the bulbs.
The locals also not using this for any medical preparation.
The Colchicum sp. are mostly from the Himalayan region and having small bulb. This bulb is of various size and resembles like white big onion.
Hope the above information will help in identifying the plant species. 

sending images of Drimia -onions in all stages of development
Checked online and the plant is Drimia indica

Leafless, hight 1-3 ft., flowers inverted
Is it Urginea indica?

May be (Urginea scilla syn. Scilla maritima, Urginea maritima. Urginea Indica- Maritime Squill, White Squill or Red Squill) but I am not sure after going through links:

I think it's Drimia indica (Roxb.) Jessop

But due to the differences it is treated separately as per Gamble’s F.P.M and F.B.I.
Habitat & location: Common in dry gravelly soils and rocky areas in hillside forests. Photographed at Velugonda, N.Konda.
Also BSI Flora of India checklist states the same.

Plant id from Shimla hills : 5 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (3)
Habit: Leafless Herb
Habitat: Wild on a slopy mountain
location: Shimla, H.P
Date: 26/4/2017
 
Interesting! Resemble to Drimmia indica. Not know whether D.indica is distributed in temperate elevations in Himachal Pradesh.
Basal rosette of leaves is not photographed. Probably lacking at flowering time (?). Leaves develop after flowering is over in D.indica (=Urginea indica).

Drimmia (Urgenia) indica is in flowering these days in Shimla hills. The first to emerge is the flowering stock and the basal rosette of leaves will emerge in the days to come. I also have noticed the species growing at about 2100m altitude near Mashobra (Shimla) the last Sunday.

Chlorophytum tuberosum ?

Fist one looks like Chlorophytum tuberosum ........
but can be confirmed with flower...

Does not seem to match with images at Chlorophytum tuberosum (Roxb.) Baker to me.

May be some Hymenocallis species as per images herein.

Chlorophytum tuberosum ?

Difficult to say without flower out tuber; the leaves does not look like that of Chlorophytum; may be of Crinum

Can it be some Dipcadi ?

Chlorophytum tuberosum ?

Doubt ful ID. The pictures in the net do not match.
Fist one looks like Chlorophytum tuberosum ........
but can be confirmed with flower...

The first picture indicates that it is Chlorophytum.

This is not a chlorophytum 
Identified as Drimia indica


Please help me with name(s) of Drimia indica, its popular synonyms are: Scilla indica, Urginia indica and Erythronium indicum. Though not sure whether found in Nepal.
Most probable candidate is वनप्याज vanpyaj OR rather बनप्याज banpyaj... please validate

Urginea indica is listed in Nepal but no Nepali name so far.
Thanks very much … I found one at this link:
Handbook of Flowering Plants of Nepal (Vol. 1 Gymnosperms and Angiosperms: Cycadaceae - Betulaceae) by K.K. Shrestha, S. Bhattarai, P. Bhandari
Then it is correct as in the book. I could not get one yet !
