Disa stricta

Disa stricta is a slender terrestrial orchid, an herbaceous perennial growing annual leaves and inflorescence from a tuberous rootstock to heights around 45 cm.

The species is distributed in the southwest of KwaZulu-Natal in the Drakensberg area and inland in the Eastern Cape, as well as in Lesotho.

The habitat is grassland slopes and damp floodplains. The habitat population is deemed of least concern early in the twenty first century (Pooley, 1998; iNaturalist; https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org; http://redlist.sanbi.org).
