I thought it might be Lapiedra but it doesn't have that central green ovary which yours has,

Looks like something close to what I used to know as Brodiaea.

Or even a Scilla. The flower/capsule structure is similar to that of Scilla peruviana (oh but that's from South Africa isn't it, not Sth America).

 Oziroe arida is not a name I knew - but the page of Chileflora  for this plant :

http://www.chileflora.com/Florachilena/FloraEnglish/HighResPages/EH1003A.htm
has useful pictures of all parts ofthe plant.
 I think you found the name, Tozi.
