Anthericum hispidum Linn. Liliaceae. ST. BERNARD'S LILY. South Africa. The sprouts are eaten as a substitute for asparagus. They are by no means unpalatable, says Carmichael [1], though a certain clamminess which they possess, that induces the sensation as of pulling hairs from between one's lips, renders them at first unpleasant.
