ADROMISCHUS NANUS (N.E. Br.) Poelln.
(pauciflorus Hutchison)
Section: 3 Brevipedunculati



DISTRIBUTION
In grit pans or filling rock cracks on quartz or pegmatite in Bushmanland. Always in shade.

CHARACTERS
The smallest Adromischus species. It has clustering, sparse rosettes of plain, light green leaves, never with red markings. Tölken describes this with short, rarely branched stems and tuberous roots.

CULTIVATION
Choice, slow and liable to rot - be vigilant in winter! Use shallow pots. Also, beware of scorch.

COMMENTS
A waxy form of A. nanus with single flowers, found on the Achab Mtns. in eastern Bushmanland, is distinctive.
