 Hyacinthaceae
Although for long considered to occur in southern Africa, the genus Scilla is now known to be strictly northern hemisphere and the southern African species previously included in it have been accomodated in several other genera, mostly with just one or a few species each.
Species of Hyacinthaceae are generally easy to cultivate and flower regularly as long as their need for a resting season is taken into account.

 PbsWiki - Albuca   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Albuca is a genus of 60 to 70 species belonging to the Hyacinthaceae family, to be precise in the subfamily Ornithogaloideae.
In fact in J. Manning, P. Goldblatt and M.F. Fay, "A revised generic synopsis of Hyacinthaceae in sub-Saharan Africa, including new combinations and the new tribe Pseudoprospereae", Edinburgh Journal of Botany 60(3): 533-568 (2004) the authors propose sinking Albuca along with Dipcadi, Galtonia, Neopatersonia, and Pseudogaltonia into Ornithogalum.
All Albuca species grow from bulbs, and most have a dormancy period after flowering whereby they lose their leaves.
