Aspalathus macrocarpa

robust, woody, glabrescent; branches rigid, virgate, the leaf-tubercle prominent, tomentose, mucronate (or unarmed); leaves densely tufted, linear-subulate, glabrescent; flowers solitary, pedicellate, cernuous; calyx downy, ribbed, its teeth scarcely so long as the tube; legume long and lanceolate, turgid, villoso-pubescent. A robust but not densely branched shrub, resembling A. Wildenowiana, but with a very different pod. The leaf-tubercles on the younger twigs are armed with a minute spine, on the older unarmed, but densely albo-tomentose and pulvinate. Leaves 4–5 lines long, pale green, many in each tuft. Flowers unknown. The ripe pods are an inch long, nearly 2 lines wide, acuminate.
