    Please help me with any hint on possible family or any other information for identification of this mountain plant from Northeastern Uganda. Looks like lilly or onion-like. I found maybe Ledebouria, but am still searching. Thank you. I am attaching files.

    Welcome, @jschuele. How did you come to have this - did you or the person who gave it to you see or describe what the flowers look like?

    I'm pretty sure, that it's Ledebouria.

    Thank you for the affirmation. So in all the Ledebouria species that can be found it should be part of the very diverse L. revoluta, South Indian squill. I found an identical photo on https://www.pinterest.com/pin/653373858438751927/ , so-called Ledebouria sp. Barberton, which I suppose then must be a Southafrican L. revoluta.
    If it can somehow be consumed as the wild onion, that will mean I am correct.
