Tiny white flower. Leaves like rosemary. Growing among the rocks on the shore of a dry Sirkelsvlei. Area was burnt in the March 2018 fire

Flower about 6 cm long. In area burnt last year. Is it a Gladiolus Carneus flowering a bit early?

Flowering stem without foliage leaves, corm with softly papery tunic, flowers fragrant

It might be this. I am taking the id from the Table Mountain Guide, and hoping like hell that it is a Wahlenbergia not Roella.
