A real beauty. Winter growing dwarf perennial, branched from base with a
series of shorth growths that look like a series of beads. Leaf a bit like
P. hystrix. Native to Cape province, Klipplaat, found growing under bushes
in sandy soil. Keep dry in Summer. Cream to yellow flowers though like
many winter growing species I find the growth form more interesting than the
flowers
