I think, yes ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

Not endemic to South Africa. Provincial distribution: Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, Western Cape

Albuca cooperi is found on stony, mostly sandy slopes, coastal dunes, and flats over a broad distribution: (Namaqualand, western Karoo, Cape Peninsula to the southeastern Cape). Plants grow to 50 cm. The two to three leaves are narrow, linear, channeled, clasping and warty basally. Flowers are nodding, sweetly scented, yellow with green keels. Flowering is from September to January.

Bulbous perennial, 35-60 cm, with the outer bulb tunics decaying into fibres at the top, and 2 or 3 slender, channelled leaves that clasp the stem in the lower part and are warty towards the base.
