Cultivation
Grouped as a bulb, tuber or caudex by the genus Lapeirousia, which is reliably one kind of plant (archetype table). The table holds no figure for this group, which spans too much for one minimum, and no habitat climate is derived yet; no cold floor is given, and no prose comes from the table.
