Plant closely resembling K. acutipetala in habit, vegetative characters and flowers, but with pale rose-coloured petals fading into white at the base. Stigmas 6, erect or ascending, about 2 lines long. Capsule like that of K. acutipetala, but with only 6 valves and cells, and the cells with a small and rather obscure placental tubercle. Seeds about 5 or 6 in a cell, 3/4 line long, compressed-Pear-shaped, and under a lens distinctly but minutely tuberculate, the tubercules being larger and more easily seen than those on K. acutipetala, brown.

Dried specimens of this plant in flower only cannot be distinguished from K. acutipetala without dissecting the flowers, but when in fruit the number of valves of the capsule easily distinguishes it. I have not been able to compare living flowers of the two species, so cannot state if the colour distinction is constant, but the difference in the number of valves to the capsule and the size and number of seeds in a cell is quite constant in the numerous capsules examined, and which were attached to living and dead plants kindly sent to me by Professor C. E. Moss. According to the original description, this plant differs from K. acutipetala 'by the 6-parted flowers' and in Latin '6-merous' flowers, but this is surely a botanical error. Other species are described as having '4-merous' or '5-merous' flowers, but no known member of the whole group of Mesembryanthema has flowers that are either 4-, 5- or 6-merous.
