Notes

This species, which has a \"Limpopo\" type of distribution is only known, in our area, from a few gatherings. In S. Africa it is said to hybridize with C. brachiata Thunb. and some specimens with anthers 1·5 mm. or so in length, which are difficult to classify, may be of hybrid origin. M. Henderson (in Fl. Pl. Afr.: sub. t. 1197 (1955)) says \"The two species are closely allied and C. brachiata is distinguished by its usually larger less hairy and darker green leaves, longer anthers and the more pleasant scent of the flowers. The young achenes of C. brachiata are usually greenish in colour, while those of C. oweniae are pink or brown\". It should be possible to find this species again in the Victoria District, where Monro collected it in 1909.
