Martin says this plant grows as a groundcover on wet cliffs in South Africa where the white flowers can profusely cover wet seeps. It appears somewhat like a small orchid as the leaves are slightly leathery and are on stiff petioles. The plant displayed made a wonderful hanging basket, but Martin also grows it as a groundcover in moist shade. The flowers are about an inch across and are somewhat like crocus flowers. The family is an unusual southern hemisphere family with many interesting yucca likes species in the interior of Brazil.
