Babiana horizontalis

About

Babiana horizontalis is a species of geophyte of upto 5 cm (2.0 in) high that is assigned to the family Iridaceae. It has leaves that consist of a sheath and a blade that are at a right angle with each other. The leaf blades are lance-shaped and have a left and right surface, rather than an upper and lower surface. The leaf blades have three or four prominent ribs, hardly pleated and glabrous except for some long hairs along the upper margin. The inflorescence contains two to five zygomorphic lilac or olive yellow flowers. Three stamens are crowding under the upper lip. Flowering occurs in June and July. B. horizontalis may be found in the Northern Cape province of South Africa.
