Description

Solenomelus pedunculatus is a common species of flowering plants of the genus Solenomelus that is native to the Chilean Andes. It has grass-like leaves that are greyish green growing in a clump and a succession of short-lived deep yellow flowers on a zip-zag stalk. During dry summers the leaves die back much like Sisyrinchium bellum, but return when it starts raining in the autumn.
