Tricoryne simplex is a small, softly pubescent perennial herb in the Asphodelaceae family, endemic to New South Wales.[3] (However, NSW Plantnet states that it is a member of the family Anthericaceae[4], and Flora of Australia online, to the family Hemerocallidaceae.[5]) Flowering axis to 20 cm high, usually angular, glabrous, rarely branched. Leaves linear, 6-15 cm long, 3-5 mm wide, glabrous or scabrous, hairy at margin. Umbels 6-20-flowered or more; bracts scarious, subulate or with outer few leafy, 4-5 mm long, 0.5-1 mm wide; pedicels 5-12 mm or more long. Sepals oblong, acute, 6-8 mm long, 2-2.2 mm wide, 3-nerved. Petals obovate, obtuse, 6-6.5 mm long, 2.1-2.4 mm wide, 3- or 4-nerved. Filaments 2-3 mm long; anthers oblong, 1-1.3 mm long. Mericarps obovoid, 3.5-4 mm long, 2 mm diam.; umbo absent; pericarp reticulate.
It flowers from September to December and is found on the central coast of New South Wales.[5]
The species was first described as Tricoryne simplex by the botanist Robert Brown in 1810[1][2] and the name has not been revised.[2]
