Eriospermum zeyheri

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

However, the leaf of E.zeyheri is generally a lighter green above, and not a reddish colour below.

The irregular-shaped tuber of E.zeyheri is white-ish inside.

The pale, greenish-cream-coloured, fragrant, star-shaped flowers appear on a tall, thin inflorescence in December to March.

This species occurs in renosterveld vegetation, in clay soils, across the southern Cape, South Africa, extending from McGregor as far east as the town of Grahamstown.
