Babiana (said to come from Dutch for baboon, because those animals eat the bulbs). Iridaceae. About fifty cormous plants of South Africa (and one Socotran), sometimes grown for spring bloom under glass, or in the open in the South.

Low plants, of easy culture if treated like freesias or hyacinths. Three or four corms placed in a 4-inch pot, in autumn, give attractive bloom in March or later. Grown only indoors or under frames in the North. Outdoors in mild climates they may remain continuously in the ground, although it is better to take up and replant every year or two. Propagation is by cormels and seeds. They are showy and useful plants. Monograph by Baker in Handbook of the Irideae, 1892.
