Description:
Acaulescent or short-stemmed succulent. Leaves grey-green, broadly deltoid, spreading, unarmed. Flowers in capitate, rounded panicles, nodding, inflated below, coral with pink tips. Aug.--Sept. Rocky slopes, NW, KM, SE (Worcester Karoo to Port Elizabeth and E Karoo).F
APIACEAE
NE

G
Asparagus
NE
1
{"type":"FeatureCollection","features":[]}
Short etymology:
From the Greek aspharagos, the name given to the edible Asparagus. A wide-spread genus which is greatly in need of revision. The root-system is an important character in the grouping, but owing to the inadequacy of the existing descriptions and the imperfection of the type specimens, correct identification is often very difficult. The flowering seasons seem to depend very largely on habitat. Some of the spiny species are called Wag-’n-bietjie.

Short etymology:
Gk. ereike = to break. The name used for a heath by Theophrastus (372–287 BCE) and Pliny the Elder. The stems are brittle and break easily (Lindsay); or possibly but less likely because of the ability of the plant to break up bladder stones (Paxton’s Botanical Dictionary).
