Homeria collina, now reclassified as Moraea collina, is a cormous plant endemic to the Western Cape of South Africa (from Baines Kloof to Caledon), in the Iridaceae family. Known as the "Cape tulip," it produces a simple or branched stem with a single leaf and yellow or salmon-pink flowers with yellow nectar guides, opening in the afternoon. Flowering occurs from July to September in habitat. Toxic to livestock, it grows in fynbos on well-drained, sunny soils.
