Ixia campanulata

Ixia campanulata is a perennial flowering plant and geophyte belonging to the genus Ixia and is part of the fynbos and renosterveld.^[1] The species is endemic to the Western Cape and occurs in the Breede River Valley between Tulbagh and Worcester. The plant has lost 60% of its habitat to crop cultivation and there are two, possibly three, fragmented subpopulations remaining. It is threatened by overgrazing, invasive plants and poor fire management.^[2]
