Watsonia tabularis

Watsonia tabularis, commonly the Table Mountain watsonia, is an erect perennial reaching 90 cm to 1,5 m in height.

The leaves are sword-shaped, broad and flat with slightly raised midribs and margins. The smaller stem-leaves are inflated.

The species distribution is sandstone mountain slopes of the Cape Peninsula.

The habitat is rocky fynbos slopes and plateaus in seasonally moist or marshy places. The species is not considered to be threatened in its habitat early in the twenty first century (Clarke and Mackenzie, 2007; Manning, 2007; Kidd, 1983; iNaturalist; http://redlist.sanbi.org).
