Note text

Two related species from the S.W. Cape (South Africa) are H. collina and H. flaccida and they have been confused in New Zealand and Australia. Examination of New Zealand material shows that our plants belong to H. flaccida (preferred name now Moraea flaccida) and in Australia this seems to be the commonest naturalised species of the genus.
