As part of a taxonomic revision of the genus Massonia (Hyacinthaceae-Hyacinthoideae-Massonieae), a new species, M. thunbergiana WETSCHNIG, MART.-AZORIN & M. PINTER is here described from the Roggeveld, the coldest region of South Africa. This species is at first sight similar to some populations of the heterogenous M. depressa-aggregate but it differs in vegetative, floral, and molecular characters as well as by its distribution. A detailed morphological description of the new species and data on biology, habitat, and distribution are presented.
