Solenomelus is a genus of South American (Argentina + Chile)[1] species of flowering plants in the family Iridaceae. They are very closely allied to Sisyrinchium with rhizomes, flowers with a perianth tube and a style that is not divided and a single capitate stigma. The genus name is derived from the Greek words solen, meaning "tube", and melos, meaning "member".[2]

  1. Solenomelus pedunculatus (Gillies ex Hook.) Hochr.[3] - northern + central Chile
  2. Solenomelus segethi (Phil.) Kuntze[4] - central Chile, southern Argentina
