Manulea crassifolia is characterized by its perennial habit, rosulate leaves, thyrsoid inflorescence, distinctly bilabiate calyx and yellow corolla. Manulea thodeana, here treated as a subspecies of M. crassifolia, differs principally in its longer indumentum; in addition, the flowers of M. thodeana are often livid or pure mauve. Commonly, in the species as a whole, the flowering stem is nearly nude and terminates in a long narrow thyrse; in the Cape in particular, but also elsewhere, the flowering stem is often leafy, and, almost exclusively in the Cape, it may branch into a panicle. Manulea rhodantha is a close ally, often mistaken for M. crassifolia and distinguished principally by its calyx, deeply divided into five subequal lobes. From: Hilliard, OM. 1994.

Manulea crassifolia subsp. crassifolia is known mainly from Lesotho and the north-eastern Cape, with a range from about Harrismith (Platberg) and Clarens in the Orange Free State, just north of Lesotho's northern border, through the mountainous parts of Lesotho (and just entering Transkei on the upper slopes of the Drakensberg escarpment but apparently absent from the Natal Drakensberg where it is replaced by subsp. thodeana) to the mountains of the north-eastern Cape, from the Witteberg and Cape Drakensberg west over the Stormberg, Bankberg, Sneeuwberg and Koudeveldberg to the environs of Murraysburg, and south to the Kouga Mountains and the Groote Zwartberg.
