Babiana pauciflora is a perennial flowering plant and geophyte belonging to the genus Babiana.[1] The species is endemic to the Northern Cape and the Western Cape. It occurs on the Bokkeveld Mountains escarpment and is part of the renosterveld. The species has lost habitat to wheat cultivation in the past; currently, the cultivation of olives and grain products is a threat. The plants on the road shoulders are also threatened by maintenance.[2]
