Eriospermum pubescens is a species of geophytic plant of the genus Eriospermum, indigenous to the southern Cape, South Africa.

The leaf is heart-shaped (7 cm long, 6 cm wide), relatively hairless (sometimes with straight hairs pressed flat against the leaf surface, especially on the underside), and held prostrate against the ground.

The tuber is irregular shaped, with reddish-purple flesh, and the plants can offset and form clusters.

Eriospermum pubescens occurs in renosterveld vegetation, in clay-rich soils across the southern Cape, South Africa.

It occurs from Ceres in the north, southwards to Somerset West, and eastwards as far as Knysna.
