Moraea
Moraea, the Cape tulips, is a genus of plants in the family Iridaceae, first described as a genus in 1758. The group is widespread across Africa, the Mediterranean, and central and southwestern Asia. The genus name is a tribute to the English botanist Robert More.
Moraeas have iris-like flowers.
The corms of some species have been used as food, however they are usually small and some species are unpleasant, and some are poisonous.
