Thysanotus pauciflorus, commonly known as few flowered fringe lily, is a species of flowering plant in the Asparagaceae family, and is endemic to southern parts of Western Australia. It is a tufted perennial herb, with linear, flat leaves, and usually a single umbel of two to four purple flowers with lance-shaped sepals, elliptic, fringed petals and three stamens.
Few-flowered fringe lily grows in flats and dunes in sand in mallee eucalypt vegetation and low scrub in near coastal regions of the south coast of Western Australia, from the southern slopes of the Stirling Range to near Hopetoun in the Esperance Plains, Hampton and Mallee bioregions.
