Romulea requienii, called Requien's romulea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Iridaceae.[3] It is native to Corsica, Sardinia, and west-central Italy.[2] A petite cormous geophyte, it is prefers to grow in wet areas such as coastal grasslands and inland meadows from sea level to 1,200 m (3,900 ft).[4] It has been assessed as Least Concern,[1] although the Tuscan population may have been extirpated.[4] It is occasionally available from commercial nurseries.[3]
