This species was not listed by Burrows & Willis, Sabonet report 31, 2005.

The tallest plant not much more than 20cm tall. Some going to seed, and the least mature with buds still forming. The largest plant divided midway up the stem, just below where the flowers started, so it's flowers looked quite densely packed, other plants seemed to be single-stemmed. No visible leaves.

Flowers creamy yellow with a purplish centre. It grew in our yard at Sinamatella but only flowered with good rains.

Plants growing in small clumps about 15-20cm tall at most. Stems squarish and hairy. Flowers of some plants were in shades of pink, while others were more shades of purple. The leaves were paired, hairy, and ranged from a roundish ovate to elliptic. When crushed they initially smelled quite strongly of lemon but this faded quickly to a generally herb-like smell.

About 35-40 cm tall with large yellow flowers. Leaves growing almost clasping the stem, which were all very hairy but no prickles.

There were several single stemmed plants averaging about 30cm tall. One had multiple very pale pink flowers growing along its stem. Three others had only one or two pink flowers. The lower lobe has a small purplish mark. No leaves evident. Area dry with lots of surface quartzite stones.

Altitude estimated by me (MAH)

Up to about 20 cm tall. Leaves were just beginning to grow - generally 3 per plant. Flowers light mauve with a darker centre.

Only about 6-7cm tall. One or two grass blade like leaves. Six white petals with 2 purplish blue markings midway along each petal.
