This member of the Hypoxidaceae family was given this name by
Deirdré Anne Snijman and Alexander Kocyan in 2013. It is found
in south eastern South Africa, growing in a well drained but rather
rich organic soil with
some to lots of water water and some sun. The caudex can grow to
one and a half
centimetres in diameter, the entire plant to ten centimetres in
height. The
flowers are yellow. The
genera name is derived from the Greek Pauros; 'small' and
idia; 'dim', relating to the small size of some of the species
in the genus. The species name means 'forked into three' and
'pattern'. |
