Disa forficaria is a perennial plant and geophyte belonging to the genus Disa and is part of the fynbos. [1] The plant is endemic to the Western Cape. The plant occurs at Cape Peninsula, Du Toitskloof, Hottentots Holland Mountains, Houwhoek and Groenland. There are only five plants at a herbarium, all collected before 1966. The plant has not been seen again since then. [2]
