Baeometra
Baeometra is a genus in the family Colchicaceae containing a single species, Baeometra uniflora. It is native to South Africa, where it is commonly called beetle lily due to the dark markings on the tepals.
The beetle lily is endemic to the southwestern cape of South Africa, where it is found between Malmesbury and Riversdale, where it is common in seasonally wet areas as well as lightly disturbed regions, such as road verges. It is also found on rocky sandstone and granite slopes.
