Description

This new flowering branch of Limeum africanum subsp. africanum is subtended by a couple of the plant’s long, narrow leaves.

The small flowers upon which the green triangles in the middle of each sepal are conspicuous, do not attract much attention individually. The dense cluster, repeated on several branches in season lifts the species from the ordinary.

The inconspicuous petals are completely white; the next colour addition arrives when the flower opens to display its bunch of bright yellow anthers (Le Roux, et al, 2005; Manning and Goldblatt, 1996; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; JSTOR; iNaturalist).
