Strumaria discifera is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to west and south-west Cape Provinces.[1] It was first described in 1992.[2]
Strumaria discifera is similar to Strumaria chaplinii, i.e. a relatively small plant for the genus Strumaria with star-shaped white flowers on umbels. It can be distinguished by its tepals, which are channelled rather than flat. Like almost all species in the genus, it flowers with the autumn rains.[3]
