Hesperantha cucullata is a South African bulb. It has three spreading anthers and three spreading shorter style lobes. Its nice and scented flowers open in the night. From the above they are just white, but below three sepals are purple.

I managed to photograph the flower in the last daylight, just as the flower open.
