Johnsonia pubescens, commonly called the pipe lily,[2] is a grass-like plant in the family Asphodelaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae,[3] endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. As with others in the genus, it is distinguished by its minute flowers which are on the end of a spike and hidden by large, overlapping, papery bracts.
