Thysanotus multiflorus
Thysanotus multiflorus, commonly known as many-flowered fringe lily, is a species of flowering plant in the Asparagaceae family, and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a tufted perennial herb, with linear to lance-shaped leaves, and usually a single umbel of four to 60 purple flowers with linear to lance-shaped sepals, elliptic, fringed petals and three stamens.
Many-flowered fringe lily grows in coastal banksia scrub forest in sand in Eucalyptus marginata-Corymbia calophylla forest and Eucalyptus staeri forest in humus-rich sandy soils. It is found south-east of a line from the Avon River to Cape Riche in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren IBRA regions of south-western Western Australia.
