Tritonia dubia is a tuberous geophyte that is part of the genus Tritonia . [1] The species is endemic to the Eastern Cape and occurs from Humansdorp to Port Elizabeth. The species has lost 50% of its habitat in the past 150 years due to crop cultivation and urban development. Invasive plants are also now becoming a threat. [2]
