MARIANIAE "IMMACULATUS" Uitewaal
Section: 5 Longipedunculati See also marianiae, antidorcadum, geyeri, hallii, herrei, kubusensis, Little Spheroid and Tanqua.
DISTRIBUTION
S. Namaqualand, Knersvlakte.
CHARACTERS
Plants usually have cylindrical
leaves, but with great variation in
marking and texture. As defined here,
it usually has less rough leaves than A. marianiae
"antidorcadum",
but it is difficult to differentiate. Probably
more closely related to the
lower-altitude A. marianiae "kubusensis",
along the Namaqualand coast.

COMMENTS
All A. marianiae plants can be
distinguished from all other species by
the ever-present horseshoe shaped margin,
although sometimes it is tiny at the tip. |
