Melasphaerula is a genus of flowering plants in the family Iridaceae, first described as a genus in 1803. There is only one known species, Melasphaerula graminea, native to Namibia and the Cape Province in South Africa.[1]
The genus name is derived from the Greek words melas, meaning "black", and sphaerulos, meaning "small sphere".[2]
Some sources use the name Melasphaerula parviflora for the species, not accepting Melasphaerula graminea.[3][4]
