Romulea kamisensis is a cormous, deciduous perennial reaching heights from 10 cm to 15 cm. The two or more basal leaves are long and narrow, up to 1 mm wide.
The species distribution is inland in the northwest of the Western Cape and southwest in the Northern Cape, endemic in a part of Namaqualand including the Kamiesberg.
The habitat is sandy loam soils, often among rocks. The species is not considered threatened in habitat early in the twenty first century (Grenier, 2019; Le Roux, et al, 2005; iNaturalist; http://redlist.sanbi.org).
