The following are wild collections made in South Africa in September,
2011, during a tour of the Northern Cape, Namaqualand, and the western
coast area. Identifications are educated guesses based on locality,
leaves, seed pods, and expert consultations. A few seeds may have been
less than fully ripe when collected, but should be viable. I have no
idea how or when fresh collections from the southern hemisphere will
germinate. Mine are all planted, hoping that their clocks will reset
properly.
Please retain my M- or Mx- numbers for future reference.
25. Lachenalia bulbifera, coastal dunes at Rocherpan. Olive green leaves
with nice red markings.
26. Massonia depressa, M41, Matjiesfontein Cemetery. Unusual cliff
dwelling form.
27. Massonia depressa, M42, S of Middelpos, rocky area.
28 Massonia depressa, M45, near Middelpos Hotel, ribbed leaves, few.
29. Massonia pygmaea?, M46, Nieuwoudtville, Matjiesfontein Farm, few.
30. Massonia depressa, M47, Nieuwoudtville waterfall, well marked.
31. Massonia depressa, M48, Nieuwoudtville waterfall, reddest, few.
32. Massonia depressa, M49, Carolusberg, near the old Van Der Stel
copper mine, extra large form.
33. Massonia depressa, M51, Modderfontein, large form.
34. Massonia 'pygmaea' pustulate form, M52, Modderfontein, rocky dome.
Distinctly different from the flatland M. pygmaea in the same area in
terms of leaf and seed pod morphology. Rare and choice (at least for
me), and may not commonly be in cultivation. Very few.
35. Massonia pygmaea, M54, Modderfontein, dry field/renosterveld area, few.
36. Massonia pygmaea, M55, Modderfontein, wet pasture.
37. Massonia depressa, M56, field across from Kamieskroon Hotel, good color.
38. Massonia depressa, M57, Kamieskroon Church, from a huge population
with some immense forms.
39. Massonia pygmaea, M59, SE of Elands Bay, rocky area. Seed and pod
morphology is different from the Modderfontein forms.
Most forms of Daubenya zeyheri in cultivation are from the Paternoster
area. The following are from a different population in Jacobs Bay.
40. Daubenya zeyheri, Mx22, Jacobs Bay, selected forms from private
garden. Very few.
41. Daubenya zeyheri, Mx23, Jacobs Bay, limestone area.
42. Daubenya zeyheri, Mx24, Jacobs Bay, near old runway, sandy area over
limestone.
Thank you, Ken, Mary Sue, Rick, Mark, and Roy !!
