Description

It is easier to recognise Veltheimia capensis in flower than in fruit, although such winged fruits are not often seen above the leaf rosettes of bulbous plants.

A small colony of plants showing leaf rosettes and some bearing fruit was spotted during October in karoid veld near the bed of an occasional to rarely flowing stream, not far from Barrydale. The place is rocky and sandy with much dry remains of last season’s annuals (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Manning, 2007; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; iNaturalist).
