Information
leaves simple (or pinnatifido-laciniate), ovate, oblong, or lanceolate, tapering to the base and apex, acute or sub-obtuse, with immersed veins, glabrescent, softly pubescent, or puberulous, often ciliated; stipules linear-subulate, acuminate, pubescent; scapes branching, pubescent or villous, with villous bracts and pluri-flowered umbels; calyx glanduloso-pubescent and thinly villous, the segments lanceolate, acute, gland-tipped, with very narrow, membranous margins. Very variable in the shape of the leaves, and the amount of the pubescence, which is always soft and silky; sometimes the leaves are quite glabrous. Var. δ. may perhaps be a species. The other synonyms quoted appear to me undistinguishable.
Distribution
SOUTH AFRICA Dry clayey or sandy ground, chiefly in the western districts, common. (Herb. T.C.D., Hook., Sond.)
