Habitat
The subsp. nodulosa is here given a slightly wider circumscription to include subsp. enantiophylla (Tolken, 1977). This was done because intermediates between the two subspecies were found north of our region. Some plants from the area between Kimberley and Bloemfontein show characters intermediate be­tween subsp. capitella and subsp. nodulosa and may therefore be difficult to identify.
Use
(b). subsp. nodulosa (Schonl.) Tolken in Jl S. Afr. Bot. 41: 100 (1975). Type: Cape, Warrenton, Adams 28 (GRA, holo.!; GRA!; SAM!).
