Strumaria salteri is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to the Cape Provinces of South Africa,[1] where it is found in seasonally moist sandstone outcrops. It has a loose inflorescence with pinkish flowers, the colour coming from the midribs of the tepals, similar to Strumaria gemmata.[2] It was first described by Winsome Fanny Barker in 1944.[3]
