Scientific name: Anomatheca laxa
Date collected: 4/18/2011
Location collected: UCLA Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Gardens
Habitat: The False Freesia were clumped together and near other flowering plants.
Nativity: The False Freesia is native to South Africa and is drought-tolerable since South Africa is not very moist or humid, but rather dry.
Special notes: The False Freesia's flowers are in the same family as the Iris, so they have similar phenotype to the Iris. In the winter, the plants go into a dormant stage where they do need a lot of water to survive. The colors of the False Freesia range from blue, red, and white.
