Information
suffruticose, slender, diffuse; branches hispid with spreading, white bristles; leaves petiolate sub-distant, oblong, obtuse, inciso-sinuate or pinnatifid, ciliate, sparsely hispid or glabrescent above, albo-tomentose below; stipules amplexicaul, cordato-cuspidate; peduncles racemose-paniculate, filiform, longer than the leaves, 2-flowered near the summit; bracts ovato-lanceolate; calyx campanulate, pubescent, the 5 teeth deltoid-acuminate, with rounded interspaces; petals twice as long as the calyx, the claw longer than the limb; filaments cuneate, longer than the anthers: ovary ovoid, pubescent. Very near H. hirsuta, but with more deeply divided, sinuate (not toothed) leaves; perhaps a mere variety. Its stamens are clearly those of a Hermannia, and so is the habit.
Distribution
SOUTH AFRICA Mountain sides, at Brackfontein, Clanw. E. & Z.! (Herb. T.C.D., Sond.)
