The genus contains a single species called Loxostylis alata.[3] In English, this species goes by the common nametar wood. It has self supporting growth and is perennial.[4]
The IUCN lists the species as least concern due to it being a widespread species. But it’s being harmed in certain areas.[1] Its native range is Southern Africa.[2]
Loxostylis is derived from the Greek word loxos and the Latin stylis. Loxos means “crooked”, “oblique”, or “twisted”[5] while stylis means “style”. While alatus is Latin for “winged”.[3]
Loxostylis alata is found along woodland edges, along rivers, and on the outcrops of quartz and sandstone.[3]
Reproductionedit
It is dioecious.[7] In spring, male flowers are white and scented while the female flowers are green but the sepals turn red or pink.[8]: 278
