==Species==
There are 14-16 species of Freesia, all native to [[Africa]]. Of the 14 species, 12 are native to [[Cape Province]], [[South Africa]], the remaining two to tropical Africa, one species extending north of the equator to [[Sudan]]. ''F. refracta'' is the most commonly grown species, which during the 19th century got crossed with ''F. leichtlinii''. Many cultivars arose from those species, as well as pink and yellow flowering ''F. corymbosa''.
