Bulbine margarethae is a small, tuberous, perennial plant that often grows in clusters and is assigned to the Asphodelaceae. Its succulent leaves with a net-shaped marking are set as a rosette. It has flowers in a lax raceme with six yellow tepals and six filaments with many long perpendicular hairs. This species grows on the Knersvlakte, Northern Cape province of South Africa. The species is considered vulnerable because of limestone mining on 3 of 4 known locations.
