This has almost exactly the habit and leaves of G. obtusifolia Haw., but 
with quite different flowers. The latter are like those of G, candicans 
Haw., except that the perianth is more suddenly constricted below the 
ovary, not gradually attenuated, and it usually has no trace of green 
markings on it. — Described from living specimens which flowered in 
Mr. N. S. Pillans’ garden, Rosebank, near Cape Town.
