Homeria, commonly known as Cape tulips, is a genus of the botanical family Iridaceae, which has 32 species of corm-bearing perennial herbs. In addition, these plants are used as ornamental plants. In the early 19th century, this genus was recognized as a single species of tulip, Tulipa breyniana[1]. Currently, this genus is considered a synonym of Moraea.[1]
