Tulbaghia (wild garlic[1] or society garlic) is a genus of monocotyledonous herbaceous perennial bulbs native to Africa,[2] belonging to the amaryllis family. It is one of only two known genera in the society garlic tribe within the onion subfamily.[3] The genus was named for Ryk Tulbagh (1699–1771), one time governor of The Cape of Good Hope.[4]

Most species are native to the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. As is common to many members of the Allioideae, when their leaves are bruised they produce a distinct garlic smell, hence its common name. The flowers are borne in an umbel. Each flower has six narrow tepals. A characteristic of the genus is that there is a "corona" – a raised crown-like structure – at the centre of the flower. This may be small and scale-like or may be larger, somewhat like the trumpet of a small narcissus.[5]
