Of the southern African species only five extend into tropical Africa. The genus is consequently considered to be a southern African entity. The genus is characterized by water-wise succulent plants with lax or compound racemes (flowers borne on stalks along an unbranched axis, lower ones opening first) of mostly yellow (very rarely white, orange or pink) flowers with bearded stamens. It is closely related to Bulbinella but has flowers that are "bearded" with hairy stamens. Many Bulbine species have medicinal uses too. Bulbine natalensis commonly known as Rooiwortel is a perennial, frost tender succulent with broad sharp pointed fleshy yellow-green leaves. It bears clusters of star-shaped yellow flowers on long thin flowering stems. It is drought resistant and requires full sun to semi-shade. Reportedly it has many traditional medicinal uses. It is used as a first-aid remedy to treat stings, mosquito bites, blisters, cold sores, mouth ulcers, cracked lips, -finger tips and -heels, burns, sunburn, cuts, bruises, dries out acne, wounds, rashes, itches, ringworm, herpes, fever blisters and sores, itching.

  Bulbine is characterised by having flowers borne in lax or compound racemes, and by being succulent. The flowers are mostly yellow, with bearded stamens, although sometimes white, orange or pink. Several species are grown in gardens, although the most common species in the horticultural trade is B. frutescens. Species of Bulbine resemble Haworthia and Aloe in appearance, but with soft fleshy leaves, many with tuberous roots or a caudex. The various species grow as shrubs, rough tough weedy perennials, dwarf geophytes, and soft annuals. Many of the dwarf species have small, dome-shaped tubers. Dormancy starts in late spring and lasts until mid autumn, but can vary between species and in different conditions. Leaves die and drop and the roots contract into the caudex leaving no visible sign of life on the surface. Propagation is mostly by seed although cuttings are possible as some species will form multiple heads or offsets. "Wildekopieva", erect perennial, greyish green slightly fleshy leaves, many yellow flowers on long stalks in Spring. Sow Spring.
