Ferraria is a genus of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Iridaceae, native to tropical and southern Africa.[2] They are herbaceous corm-bearing plants growing to 30–45 cm tall. Some species have an unpleasant scent similar to rotting meat and are pollinated by flies, while others have a pleasant scent. The genus name is a tribute to Italian, Jesuit Botanist and botanical artist Giovanni Baptista Ferrari.[3]
