One of the section Diplopetcdurn with the facies of A. capituliformis 
v. caledonensis, mihi, or not unlike a slender growth form of A. humilis 
v. capitata, mihi (sect. Pseudostemon) . Its alliance lies with the former 
variety, from which it is distinguished by its pilose twigs, the subterete 
pilose leaves, scarcely keeled dorsally, their non-ciliate margins, the 
pilose pedicels, the bracteoles which are almost at the base of the 
calyces, the smaller calyces, with pilose segments, the more slender 
petals and staminodes, and the patently pilose style. 
A. tulbaghensis, A. montanae accedit, sed foliis acicularioribus, dorso satis 
convexis, glandulis magis conspicuis praeditis, pedicellis floribusque 
glabris, distinguitur.
