Ixia 

a genus of southern African corms of the family Iridaceae.

There are more than 40 species growing in the Cape of Good Hope region; many of them have been used in floriculture for more than 200 years, especially for forcing. Many forms and varieties of complex hybrid origin are grouped under the general name Ixia hybrida.
