Savannosiphon is a flowering plant genus in the family Iridaceae, circumscribed in 1980. It contains a single species, Savannosiphon euryphylla, native to tropical Africa (Zaire, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe).[1][2][3][4]
The genus name, derived from the word "savanna" and the Greek word siphon (meaning "tube") alludes to its habitat and the structure of its perianth tube.[5]
