Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Choice and rare (key elements for us!) succulent from the Steenkampsberg in Mpumalanga where it grows a in gritty humus among granitic outcrops and experiences occasional snowfall. This was first decribed in 1995 so is new on the scene although the roots have long been used to boost the kick in tribal brews. Pink flowers.
