Melasphaerula (a little black sphere; referring to the bulblets or the seeds). Iridaceae. One species from the Cape of Good Hope, a small bulbous plant procurable from Dutch bulb-growers. It belongs to the Ixia tribe, in which the fls. are spicate, not fugitive, and never more than 1 to a spathe. It resembles Ixia in having a regular perianth and simple style-branches, but belongs to a different group of genera in which the stamens are 1-sided and arched. Perianth slit nearly to the ovary, the segms. oblong-lanceolate or lanceolate and very acuminate; stamens short, attached in base of perianth; style short and filiform: caps. 3-lobed, loculicidal. Treated as ixias in cult.
