This member of the Hypoxidaceae family was given this name by Théophile Alexis Durand and Hans Schinz in 1894. It is found in southern South Africa, growing in sand, clay or a mix, with some water and little to some sun. The bulb grow to one centimetre, the leaves to five centimetres.
The genera name is derived from the Greek Pauros; 'small' and idia; 'dim', relating to the small size of some of the species in the genus. The species name also means 'minute' or 'tiny'. Photo by Cameron McMaster in Napier.
