ON THIS PLANT
Babiana pauciflora is a perennial flowering plant of up to 10 cm (3.9 in) that is assigned to the Iridaceae family. The species is endemic to the Northern Cape and the Western Cape. It occurs on the Bokkeveld Mountains escarpment where it grows in the vegetation type called renosterveld. The species has lost habitat to wheat cultivation in the past; currently, the cultivation of olives and grain products is a threat. The plants on the road shoulders are also threatened by maintenance.
