Johnsonia lupulina, common known as hooded lily, is a plant in the family Asphodelaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a rhizomatous, tufted, clump-forming perennial with creamy-white flowers.
Johnsonia lupulina is a rhizomatous, tufted, clump-forming, grass-like or perennial herb with leaves long and wide. The flowering scape is long with broadly lance-shaped floral bracts long and wide. The perianth is long and creamy-white, and the sepals are wider than the petals. The anthers are long and the style is long. Flowering occurs from September to November and the fruit is a capsule long.[1]
Johnsonia lupulina was first described in 1810 by Robert Brown (botanist, born 1773) in Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae from specimens collected near King Georges Sound in 1801.[2] [3] The specific epithet lupulina means "Humulus lupulus-like" or "hop-like".[4]
This species occurs between Albany and Collie in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia, where it grows on dunes, roadsides and damp situations in woodland.
