Coast Re@ion: Cape Div. ; in rocky places on the mountains of the Cape 
Peninsula from Table Mountain to Simons Town, from 1000 ft. upwards, now 
becoming scarce: Masson, T'hunberg, Burchell, 625! Zeyher, 3241! Harvey, 
175! Bolus, 4473! Guthrie, 672! Wolley Dod, 2037! Bentham mentions 
Stellenbosch Div. as a locality, but we have not been able to find any record of 
stations outside of the Cape Peninsula. 
The anthers are called muticous by Bentham; yet Linnaeus describes them 
as aristate, and they are so figured by Bauer and by Wendland; Andrews shows 
them as muticous, and we have found both forms.

branehes erect, rather straight, when young covered with a floccose 
pubescence of minutely plumose hairs; leaves 3-nate, mostly erect 
and closely imbricate, sometimes subspreading, linear to oblong or 
narrow-elliptic, sulcate, shortly ciliate, glabrous, smooth, shining, 
the floral often dilated, with a scarious margin, 2-3 lin. long ; 
flowers 3-nate, on short branchlets for some distance along the
