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 have an unpleasant taste, and some are poisonous.

The following species are recognised in the genus Moraea:
