Subsp. australis stands out from typical Babiana ringens in its generally smaller size and 2- to 4-flowered spike of markedly smaller flowers, with tube 27-35 mm long, and smaller tepals, the dorsal 18-30 mm long. In comparison, subsp. ringens has spikes of (3-)6 to 10 flowers, a perianth tube 28-40 mm long, and a dorsal tepal 25-45(-50) mm long. In keeping with the longer perianth tube, the filaments are 37-70 mm long, and the anthers are 5.0-7.5 mm long vs. filaments 24-34 mm long and anthers 4.0-5.5 mm long in subsp. australis. The style of subsp. australis divides at or below the base of the anthers and the style branches are relatively short, 2-4 mm, compared with a style usually dividing beyond the anther tips (rarely opposite the middle of the anthers) in subsp. ringens and the style branches are 4-5 mm long. Both subspecies occur on the Cape Peninsula, with subsp. australis recorded from the southern Peninsula and subsp. ringens in the north: their ranges do not overlap.
