Watsonia strictiflora, the Klipheuwel watsonia, is a plant belonging to the genus Watsonia and forming part of the fynbos.[1] The species is endemic to the Western Cape and occurs from Klapmuts to Joostenberg and Paarl.[2] The plant has lost 98% of its habitat over the past 200 years to the establishment of vineyards and the planting of grain as well as urban development. It is also threatened by invasive plants.[3]
