description_en: Genus of 6 species of small, clump-forming herbaceous perennials, with corm-like rootstocks, from open meadows in areas with heavy summer rainfall in the eastern provinces of South Africa, and Swaziland. The basal leaves are lance-shaped and hairy. Short-stalked, almost flat, white, pink, red, or deep purple flowers are produced over long periods in summer. Each flower has 6 overlapping tepals, arranged in 2 ranks of 3, which are fused at the bases to form a tube; the outer tepals are broader than the inner ones. Grow in a trough, rock garden, or alpine house.
