Rhodohypoxis baurii (Baker) Nel (1914) Hypoxis baurii, the red star or rosy posy, is a species of flowering plant in the family Hypoxidaceae which is native to South Africa, Lesotho, and Swaziland,[1] where it grows in damp meadows.

[2][3] Growing to no more than 10 cm (3.9 in) tall and broad, it is a herbaceous perennial with lanceolate, sharply folded, hairy grey-green leaves, and pale or deep pink star-shaped flowers throughout summer.

[2] The specific epithet baurii is named for Reverend L. R. Baur (1825-1889), who collected Rhodohypoxis in South Africa.

[4] It prefers a peaty, acid soil which stays reliably moist in summer but dries out in winter to ensure a suitable dormant period.

[3] Rhodohypoxis baurii has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
