Names
Berkheya carlinopsis subsp. sylvicola S. Moore Roessler [family COMPOSITAE], in Mitt. Bot. Staatss. Münch. 11: 96 (1973). Type from Angola. Berkheya sylvicola S. Moore [family COMPOSITAE], in Journ. Bot. 65, Suppl. II: 63 (1927). Type as above. Berkheya carlinopsis var. sylvicola S. Moore Roessler [family COMPOSITAE], in Mitt. Bot. Staatss. Münch. 3: 143 (1959). Type as above.
Information
Leaf lamina 2–3(4) mm. wide, linear and ± pinnatifid-dentate.
Habitat
With grass in chipya woodland.
Distribution
Zambia W Solwezi, 25.vii.1964, Fanshawe 8843 (K; M; NDO).
Distribution (external)
S. Angola
Notes
Berkheya spekeana Oliv. can be somewhat similar in appearance to this subspecies but is readily distinguished by its leaves which are beset with scattered bristle-spines on the upper surface.Subsp. sylvicola (S. Moore) Roessler is distinguished from the other subspecies by its linear, 2–3(4) mm. wide, and ± pinnatifid-dentate leaf blade, with the lobe length usually exceeding the blade width. Subsp. carlinopsis is confined to SW. Angola and has dentately-lobed leaves with lanceolate blades 5–15 mm. wide and triangular teeth. Plants of this species from the Transvaal have been treated as subsp. magalismontana (Bolus) Roessler and are characterised mainly by the leaves bearing spines only at the apex of the teeth and not elsewhere on the margins as in the typical subspecies.
