Watsonia dubia is a geophyte belonging to the genus Watsonia and forms part of the fynbos. [1] The species is endemic to the Western Cape and occurs from Citrusdal to Wellington. In the northern Swartland, 80% of the plant's habitat has been lost to agricultural activities. There are currently only three subpopulations known with less than 250 plants. Two of the subpopulations are located in nature reserves. [2]
