DISTRIBUTION
Roggeveldberge, S. Bushmanland mountain
slopes, widespread individuals.
CHARACTERS
More robust than A. humilis and
fallax, with stouter stems.
Outstanding florally - it is the only
bird-pollinated
Adromischus with lovely red, pendant
flowers, some with orange
centres.
CULTIVATION
It needs sufficient water in summer to
enable growth of very stout, tall
inflorescences. Feed and repot regularly.
COMMENTS
Leaves can be plain light green or mottled
red, much enhanced in summer sunshine.
