This variety was originally collected in the Winterhoeksberg by 
Ecklon and Zeyher, and is reputed to differ from the type only in the 
twigs and leaves being glabrous or nearly so. If such is the case, then 
Dr Marloth’s collections from the Matroosberg, about 6500 ft., in Jan. 
1897, No. 2343 ( = 1995) in his Herbarium and Bolus Herb, are referred 
to this variety. It is upon this that Schlechter based his Acmadenia 
c — a (an unpublished name). Marloth describes the bush as stunted, 
about \ met. high, and growing on rocks. A Bolus, 3968, from the same 
mountain at 5000 ft. elevation, and A. Bolus, 4188, from the Great 
Winterhoeksberg, and also referred to this variety. Of the latter 
specimens the collector states that the flowers are purple, and the 
height of the bush 4 — 5 ft.
