Anapolina caffra.JPG

Anapalina caffra (new name-Tritoniopsis caffra).
Iridaceae.
We may thank Mr. Goldblatt for creating a new monotypic-genus for this small RSA irid. It was shown growing in a small container with a 10" long bloom spike and a few brilliant red 0.75" tubular flowers. The irids of RSA are a joy for enterprising taxonomists, so every decade or so we can expect nomenclatural revision.
