Upper: Ravine at Loeriesfontein, 4836. Much-branched suffrutex, up to 12 met. high; branches and branchlets spinescent, the ultimate ones 0.5-3 cm. long, the bark at first pruinose grey, finally smooth and shining, prune-coloured; leaves 5-7 in the fascicle, spathulate or spathulate-obovate, gradually narrowed into the 0·15 petiole, obtuse or more rarely subacute, sprinkled on each side with pellucid glands, 0·7-1 cm. long, 0·15–0·3 cm. wide; flowers solitary pedicellate, the pedicels glandularpuberulous, 0.2-0.4 cm. long; calyx campanulate, sprinkled on the outer surface with pellucid glands, 0·5-0·6 cm. long, the segments spreading, finally recurved, somewhat unequal, lanceolatelinear acute, very minutely glandular-ciliate, 0·4-0·5 cm. long; corolla pink, the tube infundibuliform glabrous, 0.6 cm. long, 0.2 cm. diam. at the base, the segments spreading suboblong, rounded at the apex, 04 cm. long, 0.3 cm. wide; filaments unequal, the longest one reaching to the tip of the corolla, the rest shorter, adnate to about the middle of the corolla-tube, pilose towards the base; immature berry ovate subacute.
