Names
Helichrysum panduratum [family ASTERACEAE]
Common names
H. auriculatum Less. var. panduratum Harv. in F.C. 3: 253 (1865). Lectotype: Natal, near Durban and between Maritzburg and Lady smith, Gerrard 256 (K!). H. auriculatum sensu Oliv. & Hiern in F.T.A. 3: 347 (1877), non Less.
Information
A diffuse, loosely branched, soft-wooded sub-shrub, stems loosely and thinly grey-woolly, leafy, becoming pendunculoid upwards with small distant leaves passing into inflorescence bracts. Leaves up to c. 70 x 35 mm, panduriform, sessile, base broadly auricled. half-clasping, (ovate-rhomboid, petiolate in var. transvaalense), margins somewhat crisped, thinly grey-woolly above, densely so below. Heads homogamous, subglobose, c. 5—6 mm long, double that across the radiating bracts, many in loose terminal corymbose panicles. Involucral bracts in c. 5 series, graded, loosely imbricate, inner about equalling flowers, backs woolly above the stereome, tips subacute or obtuse, often erose, opaque white. Receptacle with fimbrils about equalÂling the ovary. Flowers 27—48 (—68 in var. transvaalense), yellow, honey-scented. A-chenes c. 1 mm long, barrel-shaped, obscurely ribbed, glabrous. Pappus bristles many, scabrid, about equalling corolla, bases cohering strongly by patent cilia, lightly fused as well.
Use
133. Helichrysum panduratum O.Hoffm. in Bull. Herb. Boissier 2 ser., 1: 827 (1901); Moeser in Bot. Jb. 44: 312 (1910); Brenan in Mem. N.Y. bot. Gdn 8,5: 468 (1954); Hilliard, Compositae in Natal 191 (1977). Lectotype: Congo, Kisantu, Gillet 1293 (BR!).
Range
Ranges from the Great Kei, the southern border of the Transkei, along the coast to Natal, where it has been recorded from sea level to c. 1 200 m. Also in Uganda, Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Angola and Gabon, but apparently absent from the Transvaal, where it is entirely replaced by var. transvaalense. Grows in large tangled clumps in high-rainfall areas, particularly in mixed scrub-grassland near forest margins; flowering mainly in December and January .Fig. 40:1; Map 137.
