Lanaria lanata Seeds

Common Name: Cape Edelweiss

Lanariaceae is the botanical name of a family of flowering plants, placed in the order Asparagales of the monocots. The family includes a single species Lanaria lanata, syn. Lanaria plumosa, occurring in South Africa.

Lanaria lanata is an upright plant growing to 800 mm, with numerous stiff, narrow leaves at the base arising from a woody rootstock. The flowering stalk ends in a densely woolly, white head with hidden, small, mauve flowers.

Honey bees are attracted by the light honey-like scent and nectar, and various monkey beetles are common visitors. Flowering is strongly stimulated by fire.
