has one native species of Tricoryne (T. elatior,
yellow rushlily). This is a rare species of lowland
grasslands of Northern Tasmania. It has wiry, erect stems
with grass-like leaves and conspicuous yellow, terminal
flowers with tufts of hairs about half way up the stamen
filaments. The flowers are of similar size and colour as
those of Hypoxis, but the
latter does not have hairy filaments and has inferior
ovaries. |
