Hesperantha bachmannii Seeds

Hesperantha is a cormous genus in the Iridaceae family with 79 species. Four are found in tropical Africa, 37 in summer-rainfall southern Africa, and 42 in winter-rainfall southern Africa.

Many of the former are found in the eastern southern African Drakensberg in Kwa Zulu-Natal.

In spite of the large number of species there is limited variability in the floral structure. Flowers are radially symmetrical with a style that divides at the mouth of the tube into three branches that spread over the tepals.

Most plants are short, 15 to 20 cm. tall or less. A number of them open late in the afternoon or early evening and those are often very fragrant.

Hesperantha bachmannii is widespread from Namaqualand to the Eastern Cape where it grows on clay slopes in renosterveld , in dry bush, or along streams. It therefore grows both in winter and summer rainfall areas. This species has fragrant white flowers facing to one side, nodding with petals curled back. Flowers open late afternoon or evening. This species blooms late winter into spring and is pollinated by moths.
