Ixia amethystina Seeds

The genus Ixia consists of a number of cormous plants native to South Africa from the Iridaceae family and Ixioideae subfamily. Some of them are known as the corn lily.

Some distinctive traits include: sword-like leaves, and long wiry stems with star-shaped flowers. It usually prefers well-drained soil. They have a specific but not very intense fragrance of vegetables.

That is why it is often visited by many insects such as bees.

Ixia amethystina is a rare South African endemic species from the Northern Cape Province where it can be found growing on the Roggeveld Escarpment southwest of Middelpos. Its entire range falls within the Tanqua Karoo National Park. It was previously known as Ixia brevituba. It grows to 30cm tall and in spring it bears an inclined spike of pale mauve flowers with small darker eyes.
