ADROMISCHUS
SPHENOPHYLLUS C.A. Smith
Section: 4 Incisilobati
DISTRIBUTION
Common in the Eastern Cape.
CHARACTERS
A large species, with plain, elongated,
light green leaves with a horny margin to
the base, sometimes with a reddish edge,
but never spotted. Sometimes with
auriculate (ear-like) projections on leaf
bases, like A. maculatus.
CULTIVATION
Easy and unexciting - cut back if your
plants get leggy.
COMMENTS
Merges westwards into A. maculatus
and is probably not distinct.
The flower spike can be quite dense and
attractive in Section 4.
