Effect of bulb weight on the growth and flowering of Herbertia lahue subsp. lahue (Iridaceae)

Bulb weight or size is one of the critical factors affecting the vegetative growth and flowering of bulbous species. This study assessed the effect of bulb weight on the growth and flowering of Herbaria lahue subsp. lahue. This bulbous species, commonly known as "lahue," has the potential...
