Freesia fucata
Freesia fucata is a small tuberous geophyte from the Western Cape of South Africa, known from a very restricted area near Villiersdorp. Like other freesias it grows from a corm, rests in summer, and needs a sunny, well-drained spot with winter rain.
Freesia fucata is a species of flowering plant in the family Iridaceae. It is a perennial, geophyte endemic to the Western Cape and found only at Villiersdorp. The plant has lost 70% of its habitat to agricultural activities such as the establishment of fruit orchards and vineyards. The process is still ongoing.
