Rubrications usually an entire or broken network of bold lines, fairly regular, occasionally in a honeycomb pattern, sometimes reduced to a number of isolated short lines, dashes and dots, dull to bright blood-red or purplish red. Flowers yellow, often with longish pedicels. Capsule 5-locular, top flat to slightly convex (Cole, 1988). (from Red Data Book of Namibian Plants, SJ Loots) |
