Crocosmia (Iridaceae) 4b:416  
Crocosmia Xcrocosmiiflora is widespread and very abundant weed in Tasmania, frequently seen on roadsides, especially in damper areas. Like most irises it is a tufted plant, with the stems flattened and the leaves in two rows. The leaves are up to 80cm long and 2cm wide. The flowers are stalked orange-red, about 3 or 4 cm long and arranged in a zig-zag fashion along the inflorescence.
