Acaulescent, cormous geophyte, 5-8(-16) cm. Leaves usually narrow, occasionally broad, longer than stem, obliquely lanceolate, hairy. Flowers zygomorphic, blue to mauve with white to pale yellow markings, fragrant, inner bracts divided to base, ovary smooth. From: Manning, JC; Goldblatt, P. 2012. Iridaceae.

Distinguished by the acaulescent habit, stem lacking a collar of fibres around the base, rather soft-textured fibrous corm tunics and floral bracts divided to the base. The relatively large flowers are predominantly dark blue to violet with white to creamy white markings and have a sweet or spicy scent. It is often confused with a second coastal species, B. nana, and the two sometimes occur together, B. nana flowering somewhat later in the season than B. ambigua. Hybrids between the two species have been described by Lewis (1959) from the Cape Peninsula and on the Atlantic Coast to the north. Although similar in general appearance, B. nana usually has a short aerial stem and larger and more intensely fragrant flowers, the perianth often a deeper colour and, most importantly, the inner bracts are undivided. Lewis (1959) also reported hybrids between B. ambigua and the related and similar B. scabrifolia from the Olifants River Valley. Babiana grandiflora is also easily confused with B. ambigua, but this species from coastal Namaqualand has the inner floral bracts only notched apically, and considerably larger flowers with the dorsal tepal 45-55 mm long vs. 28-40 mm in B. ambigua.
