Ixia stricta
Species of flowering plant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ixia stricta is a perennial flowering plant and geophyte belonging to the genus Ixia and is part of the fynbos.[1] The species is endemic to the Western Cape and occurs from Houwhoek to Bredasdorp. The plant has a range of 2 188 km². The species has lost large parts of its habitat to crop cultivation, overgrazing, invasive plants and uncontrolled veldfires. In the Houwhoek area and Groenlandberg, plantations have destroyed large parts of the habitat. The threats still exist.[2]
