Cypella is a genus of herbaceous, perennial and bulbous plants in the Iris family (Iridaceae). It is distributed in South America, from Peru and Brazil to Northern Argentina.[2] The genus name is likely derived from the Greek word kyphella, meaning "hollow of the ear", and alludes to the shape of the inner tepals.[3]
