Thysanotus racemoides
Thysanotus racemoides is a species of flowering plant in the Asparagaceae family, and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is a perennial herb with a rhizomatous, more or less cylindrical rootstock, fibrous roots, few leaves or leafless, flowers arranged in pairs, with pink to mauve perianth segments, fringed petals and six stamens of differing lengths.
This species of Thysanotus is restricted to the deep sands of inland western Victoria, eastern South Australia and the sandplains and lateritic gravels of Kangaroo Island, in a wide range of habitats from dry forest to woodland and low heath. In Victoria it occurs in the Big Desert and Grampians and near Anglesea.
