Hypoxis filiformis

Hypoxis filiformis, commonly the grass star-flower, is a small, cormous perennial.

The species distribution is widespread throughout the eastern parts of South Africa, not found naturally in the Western Cape and Northern Cape.

The habitat is moist places in grassland, often on rocky slopes from the coast to elevations around 2500 m. The species is not considered to be threatened in its habitat early in the twenty first century (Van Wyk and Malan, 1997; Lowrey and Wright, 1987; iNaturalist; http://redlist.sanbi.org).
