Apologies for the terrible photos; the camera really struggled in the wind and mist for this first section of the hike.

Either this or villosula, but according to Goldblatt and Manning's Babiana revision:
"anthers and pollen white to yellow; flowers with dark centre", which matches better than for villosula.
In degraded Breede Sand Fynbos. Area heavily infested with Acacia saligna.

Description
This I believe is a lilac form of Gladiolus maculatus, but the brown and lilac form behave as two separate taxa in the Klein River Mountains and would be better separated (either subspecies or species). I attach comparison photos with the brown G. maculatus. The latter always grows on shale, the former is always found on sandstone, often in rather shady or damp places on the edge of streams. Morphologically it is smaller and graceful, there is a more distinct midrib to the leaves, there also appears to be white-spotting on the cataphyll.

Gladiolus stokoei
A seldom seen and very awesome plant; locally quite common (at least 200 plts here) on recently burnt (2yrs old) sandstones at medium altitude (150m altitudinal range); threatened by rapidly expanding pines at most of its few known locations; visited by Aeropetes and large wasps
