A small species which, like many others is inconspicuous until it flowers, the narrow foliage often hidden by moss growth. A native of southern Africa, the flower stems can reach a height of about 10 cm (4 in.) and support racemes of violet and white flowers. U. sandersonii flowers profusely from spring onwards when in good light.
