Syringodea flanaganii is a small tuberous perennial geophyte in the Iris family, native to the Eastern Cape of South Africa and rarely cultivated. Care is based on general knowledge of Syringodea and related South African bulbs, since sources are limited.
Syringodea flanaganii is a perennial flowering plant and geophyte belonging to the genus Syringodea. The species is endemic to the Eastern Cape and occurs from Port Elizabeth to Komga and also at Cathcart. The plant is possibly extinct around Port Elizabeth, having last been seen there in 1933. It is threatened by overgrazing in the Stutterheim-Cathcart area.
