Eriospermum graminifolium

Eriospermum graminifolium is a species of geophytic plant of the genus Eriospermum, indigenous to South Africa.

The leaf of Eriospermum graminifolium is leathery, slender, lanceolate and grass-like (100mm x 9mm).

Usually the faintly hairy sides of the leaves are curved upwards, to the point where the leaf can seem partly rolled up.

The white flowers appear on a slender inflorescence in February to April.

Eriospermum graminifolium occurs in sandy or clay soils, in the south western Cape, extending as far east as the town of George.
