See also A. filicaulis subsp. filicaulis.
DISTRIBUTION
Nuweveldberge, Robertson-Worcester
Karoo, Little Karoo to S. Willowmore.
CHARACTERS
Spindle-shaped leaves on trailing weak stems with stilt-roots.
CULTIVATION
Rampant! Best grown in a hanging basket, where it cannot invade
neighbouring pots.
COMMENTS
Northern forms e.g from Theekloof, S. Fraserburg, are more
upright and fragile. Are they related to A. liebenbergii
or roanianus?
This was
called A. mammillaris until Tölken reviewed the
herbarium type sheets.
