Hypoxis aurea is a perennial herb growing in forest edges
or grasslands in mountainous regions. Its short stem emerges a
bundle of linear leaves 10-25cm long and 2-4mm wide. Flower stalks
are delicate, measuring 5-10cm in length, set single, rarely two,
flowers on the tips; the perianth segments, 6 in number, 4-6mm in
length, have long hairs, especially abundant on the tip portions.
Bloom time: April-June. |
