Daubenya zeyheri (Kunth) J.C.Manning & A.M.van der Merwe is one of the 8 bulbous species in the genus Daubenya, all endemic to the winter rainfall Strandveld of South Africa, and mostly growing on doleritic clays along the West Coast, Western Cape.

To attract pollinating sunbirds, pools of nectar form in the tubular flowers of Daubenya zeyheri.

It is found growing along the coast between boulders and on calcareous sands between Paternoster and Langebaan, within a very small area of some 200 km2.

The fruit is a papery capsule, inflated and three-angled, dehiscing loculicidally in the upper portion.

The seeds are globose and black with a smooth testa, ranging 2–3 mm of diameter.
