Crocosmia
x crocosmiiflora (montbretia) is
widespread and very abundant weed in Tasmania, frequently
seen on roadsides, especially in damper areas. Like most
irises it is a tufted plant, with the stems flattened and
the leaves in two rows. The leaves are up to 80cm long and
2cm wide. The flowers are stalked orange-red, about 3 or 4
cm long and arranged in a zig-zag fashion along the
inflorescence.
