Romulea rosea is a herbaceous perennial plant in the family Iridaceae. It is a small plant, usually less than 20 cm high, with grass-like leaves.[1] The flowers, which appear in spring, are pink with a yellow throat.[1] Common names include Guildford grass, onion grass and rosy sandcrocus.[1]
R. rosea is endemic to the western Cape Province (now Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Northern Cape) in South Africa , but it has become naturalised in Europe, Australia , New Zealand, and California in the United States .[1][2] It is considered to be an environmental weed in much of Australia.[3]
