Bobartia aphylla

Bobartia aphylla is a remarkable South African perennial with leafless stems, adapted to its fynbos habitat. Its yellow, iris-like flowers and wiry growth form a dense mat, providing protection against the harsh sunlight. This unique leafless characteristic conserves water, vital for survival in its dry, fire-prone environment.
