CHARACTERS Very variable in leaf shape: the plain, grey-green leaves vary from
long-cylindrical to short-fat.
CULTIVATION
Highly prone to rotting off, both at the
height of winter or summer. Remove flower
spikes before winter.
COMMENTS
Widespread in the Richtersveld mountains.
A. marianiae "kubusensis", Kosiesberg growing in gritty sand on quartzite.
The awkward A. marianiae "blosianus", with the colour of "kubusensis" but the shape of "hallii", photo by D & M Corina, near the Orange River mouth. Very hot!
