Revision of the South African genus Chasmanthe (Iridaceae) https://sciencedirect.com/science/article/… Chasmanthe differs from Crocosmia mainly in its abruptly widened perianth tube which has one or three pouches; in its stamens one of which is longer than the other two, all three anthers being split almost to the middle; in its orange-yellow to brownish-orange seeds with firm outer testa; and also in its annual corms.
