Daubenya is a South African endemic genus of perennial bulbous flowering plants in the family Hyacinthaceae. Species of Daubenya grow from bulbs covered with a brownish tunic. Each bulb produces only two leaves, which appear with the flowers and normally spread out along the ground on either side. The inflorescence is a raceme, usually very condensed and close to the ground. Individual flowers are white, pink, yellow or red. Recognized species are Daubenya alba, Daubenya aurea, Daubenya capensis, Daubenya comata, Daubenya marginata, Daubenya namaquensis, Daubenya stylosa and Daubenya zeyheri. Flowers are pollinated by butterflies, beetles, sunbirds, and bees depending on the species. They do great in cultivation and grow well in pots.

Daubenya capensis, synonymously known as Androsiphon capense, grows in doleritic clay in the northwest Cape. It has yellow yeast scented flowers.
