Geissorhiza ovata

Geissorhiza ovata, the pink satin flower, is cormous perennial that reaches heights from 6 cm to 15 cm.

The two leaves are broadly oval and leathery, spreading flat on the ground or nearly so.

This geophyte is found in the Western Cape from the Olifants River to the Cape Peninsula and eastwards to Riversdale and the Little Karoo, as far east as the Kammanassie.

The habitat is fynbos on sandstone slopes and flats. The habitat population is deemed of least concern early in the twenty first century (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Manning, 2007; Bean and Johns, 2005; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist; http://redlist.sanbi.org).
