Eastern Flax Lily is a terrestrial plant that can grow
in grasslands, or primary rainforests in tropical areas. It has
branching rhizomes, and flowering stems, that can reach up to 2 m. Leaf
blades are pointed and tapered at both ends. When flowering, it
produces a shoot about 60 cm long. Flowers have white petals, with
orange-yellow anthers. Once it is pollinated by insects, it will
produce berries that are dark blue to purple, and about 1.5 cm wide.
These berries contain 3-6 seeds, that are often eaten by native birds.
Eastern Flax Lily is found in Tropical & Subtropical Asia, and parts of
Southern Africa, from sea level to 1700 m.
