Babiana latifolia
Species of flowering plant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Babiana latifolia is a perennial flowering plant and geophyte belonging to the genus Babiana and is part of the renosterveld.[1] The species is endemic to the Western Cape. It occurs from Piketberg to Piekenierskloof and has a range of 72 km2. Four fragmented subpopulations remain after the species lost 80% of its habitat to crop cultivation. The remaining subpopulations are threatened by overgrazing, invasive plants and uncontrolled fires.[2]
