Moraea simulans Baker
NE Indigenous

Morphological description

Plants (100-)140-450 mm high. Corm 15-20 mm diam.; tunics of pale to dark coarse fibres, often with a cormlet in leaf axil. Stems either contracted, sometimes with many basal branches or extended, with short to ± sessile aerial branches and sometimes longer basal branches; upper nodes with sheathing leaves ± as long as spathes. Foliage leaves 1 or 2, linear, channelled, longer than the stem, often trailing distally, 2-4 mm wide. Rhipidial spathes usually dry at flowering time, sometimes green toward base; inner (25-)35-55 mm long, outer slightly shorter. Flowers fugaceous, pale blue-mauve mottled darker mauve to violet, outer tepal limbs white nectar guides at bases edged orange proximally, half reflexed; outer tepals (17-)20-28 x ± 8 mm, claws slightly shorter than limbs, inner tepals 15-19 x 3-4 mm, spreading, ultimately half reflexed. Filaments 5-6 mm long, united for 1.0-1.5 mm; anthers 4-8 mm long. Ovary ± cylindric, included, 15-25 mm long, fertile in lower ± 6-8 mm; style branches 8-12 mm long, crests 3-6 mm long, erect. Capsules ± ovoid, 13-20 mm long. Seeds large, dark brown, elongate-angular. From: Goldblatt, P; Manning, JC. 2020. Iridaceae of southern Africa. Strelitzia 42: 1-1159.

Perennial herb, geophyte, 0.10-0.25 m high; corm with pale to dark tunics of ± entire layers or coarse fibres, often bearing a cormlet in leaf axil; stem either contracted, sometimes with many basal branches or extended with short, ± sessile, aerial branches. Leaves 1 or 2, linear, canaliculate, ribbed, 2-4 mm wide. Spathes usually dry, occasionally herbaceous at base and dry towards apex, cylindric. Inflorescence with pale blue-lilac flowers with darker speckles over outer tepals; nectar guides yellow; tepals spreading to reflexed, outer 17-28 mm long, inner 15-19 mm long.

Diagnostic description

Living plants of Moraea simulans are readily recognised by their distinctive flowers with the tepals speckled throughout with darker mauve to violet blotches on a pale blue-lilac background, a feature unique in the section but unfortunately not visible when dry. The flowers are moderate in size, having outer tepals 17-28 mm long and both inner and outer tepals are rather narrow with laxly spreading to half reflexed limbs. Flowers open in the middle of the afternoon, usually after 15:30 and last just a few hours, collapsing after 19:00. Despite its several synonyms, M. simulans is not particularly variable except in height and the number of branches, features dependent on growing conditions rather than genetically determined. The species is evidently polyploid but chromosome numbers are known from only two collections, one tetraploid, 2n = 24, and the other hexaploid, 2n = 36. From: Goldblatt, P; Manning, JC. 2020. Iridaceae of southern Africa. Strelitzia 42: 1-1159. South African National Biodiversity Institute, Pretoria. [CC BY]

Habitat

Usually in dry grassland, open bushveld and karroid scrub. From: Goldblatt, P; Manning, JC. 2020. Iridaceae of southern Africa. Strelitzia 42: 1-1159. South African National Biodiversity Institute, Pretoria. [CC BY]

Distribution

Widespread across summer-rainfall southern Africa, extending from Victoria West in South Africa north through eastern Northern Cape, Free State, North West Province, Gauteng and interior Mpumalanga, as well as western Lesotho and eastern Botswana, with isolated populations in the lower Orange River in the Richtersveld, probably also in Namibia.
