Freesia fergusoniae is a perennial, geophyte endemic to the Western Cape and forms part of the fynbos.[1] The species occurs from Swellendam to Oudtshoorn and Mossel Bay. The plant has lost more than 70% of its habitat to agricultural activities and the remaining populations are fragmented as a result. Habitat loss continues.[2]
