Extremely rare plants in the 'Liliaceae' family purported to have an origin in Zanzibar. They are 4-5 inches in height and have spotted leaves. I hope the spelling is correct.

That's because, again, like Drimiopsis, its misspelled. Its LEDEBOURIA.
Another South African bulb, also called SQUILL. There are several different ones, some have plain green leaves and some have spots.

These are pretty common here as well, like the Drimiopsis.
