Commicarpus simonyi

Only with sufficient moisture over time will you see a full grown specimen like this. In years of drought the winter rains fail and plants wither before they can produce flowers. This winter has been a great one for the plants and thus many species I encountered were vibrant and fully grown to flowering.

Similar to Comminocarpus helenae, but perianths are narrowly funnel-shaped versus widely funnel-shaped for C helenae (A G Miller).

Leaves glabrous or sparsely scabrid – leaves of C helenae are fleshy.

Endemic.
