Watsonia is a genus in the Iridaceae family of over 50 species from both the winter and summer rainfall areas of Southern Africa. Many are quite tall with fans of sword-shaped leaves and showy flowers.
There are 56 accepted species in southern Africa, with two varieties and about 112 names either unresolved or regarded as synonyms. All are perennial herbs growing from corms and producing erect spikes of showy flowers. Most are fynbos plants, adapted to a mediterranean type climate, but some occur in the eastern and inland areas of the country and have adapted to a wider range of conditions.
Watsonia confusa Goldblatt grows in damp sites or grassland from the coast to 1000 meters from the Eastern Cape Province to Natal. It is large, up to 1.5 meters, and has more or less 30 pink to purple flowers on an unbranched stem.
