    Moraea fugax is a slender plant growing one or two narrow, keeled leaves next to the flower stem, or trailing. The leaves emerge from the stem above ground level, not the plant base. The plant in picture has only one leaf borne erectly, taller than the stem. Leaf width is less than 5 mm.

    In picture the stem zigzags between the short branches of the inflorescence, only one flower caught open among fruit, not the uppermost one (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Manning, 2007; Le Roux, et al, 2005; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000).
