pale swollen reduced leaves; flower clusters cylindric <strong>to</strong><br />

±ovoid 101. L. bulbosa<br />

29: Leaf tip obtuse, often ±swollen<br />

30 Rhizome creeping-ascending, branched, plants therefore<br />

very loosely caespi<strong>to</strong>se; s<strong>to</strong>lons present or absent<br />
