Description

The most conspicuous plant in a particular part of the fynbos depends on the time of year and what flowers then. It also depends on the altitude, direction in which a slope is facing, soil, rainfall, competition from other plant species and the number of years since the last fire.

On this piece of land at Salmondsdam during January the Phaenocoma prolifera shrublets caught the eye in a year when some other normally taller shrubs were still small in young veld after a fire.
