Tulbaghia coddii is a geophyte belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family.[1] The species is endemic to Mpumalanga and appears from Mariepskop to Mount Sheba and Graskop. It currently has a range of 272 km² and in the past has lost large parts of its habitat to plantations. More than 80% of its remaining habitat is in protected areas such as the Blyde River Canyon and the population is currently stable. The plant is considered rare.[2]
