Description

White Ixia polystachya flowers with pale yellow-brown centres is one of the beguiling outfits chosen by this species.

At the tip of the spike some pale green buds are ready to continue the flowering, as the older flowers excluding their ovaries bid the world farewell. The lowest flower cup is spread that bit wider, its anthers more consumed and dated than the fresher ones in open flowers near the buds.

The three style branches are long and thread-like amidst the three anthers, clearly visible in the lowermost flower (Manning, 2007; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; iNaturalist).
