Ixia maculata is a species of flowering plant in the family Iridaceae known by the common name spotted African corn lily.

It is native to the Cape Provinces of South Africa,[1] but it is grown widely as an ornamental plant.

It can also be found growing wild as an introduced species in several areas, including Western Australia.

[2] This perennial flower grows 20 to 70 centimeters tall with an erect, unbranched stem.

The inflorescence is a dense, showy spike of up to 12 flowers, usually orange to yellow in color, sometimes with areas of purple or red and often with spots; the coloration in garden plants varies due to breeding.
