Morphological description

Shrublet, 20-60 cm tall, sometimes up to 1 m tall, branched from near the base, erect or, when browsed, forming a low bushy plant, main stem woody; branchlets tomentose, the grey tomentum intermixed with light brown, clustered, villose hairs. Stipules subulate, tomentose, up to 14 cm long. Leaves pubescent above with subappressed, long, single hairs or very occasionally 2 or 3 hairs from the same base, greyish-stellate-tomentose beneath intermixed with clustered light brown hairs, especially on the nerves, ovate-oblong to ovate-lanceolate, up to 10 cm long and 4 cm broad, margins shallowly dentate, sometimes obscurely so; petiole 0.7-1.5 cm long. Inflorescence axillary, peduncle rigid, up to 5 cm long, usually 2-flowered at the apex, pedicels up to 1 cm long. Epicalyx-bracts, broadly ovate, acuminate, cuspidate at the apex, cordate at the base, usually slightly longer than the calyx and petals, densely tomentose to villose-tomentose on both sides, up to 2.5 cm long, 1.3 cm broad, usually longer than the calyx. Calyx lobed almost to the base, lobes ovate-lanceolate, up to 1.5 cm long, hirsute-hispid without. Petals about as long as the calyx, broadest at the apex, pale yellow, fading brownish yellow. Stamens 5, alternating with 5 linear-ligulate staminodes which are about twice as long as the stamens. Ovary subglobose densely [as “densly”] villose; style about 3-5 mm long, branches 1.75-2 mm long; ovules 4-5 in a cell. Capsule hispid with tufted hairs. From: Verdoorn, IC. 1981. Revision of Melhania in southern Africa. Bothalia 13(3 & 4): 263-273. [CC BY]

Dwarf shrub, 0.2-0.6 m high. Stipules subulate. Leaves shallowly dentate, lateral veins excurrent into teeth, ovate-oblong or ovate-lanceolate, lamina up to 40 mm broad. Inflorescences axillary, 2-flowered; peduncles rigid, up to 50 mm long. Epicalyx bracts broadly ovate, cuspidate at apex, cordate at base, longer than calyx and petals, villose-tomentose on both surfaces. Flowers ± 15 mm long, pale yellow, aging brownish yellow. Sepals lobed almost to base, 15 mm long, hirsute on outside. Petals as long as calyx. Flowering time Dec.-May. Fruit a capsule, hispid with tufted hairs. From: Bredenkamp, CL. 2019. Malvaceae s.l.

Shrublet, up to 0.6 m high. Leaves shallowly dentate, lateral veins excurrent in teeth, lamina broad, mostly over 25 mm long and up to 40 mm broad, upper leaf surface pilose. Flowers yellow.

Diagnostic description

According to Harvey, M. leucantha E. Mey. nom. nud. is this species. The Drège specimens at Kew which Meyer named M. leucantha have been examined and they are M. didyma. M. didyma resembles M. forbesii in some respects and especially in the size and shape of the epicalyx-bracts, but it is readily distinguished by the upper surface of the leaf being pubescent with single subappressed hairs, while in M. forbesii it is tomentose or with short, grouped or stellate hairs. The specimens from Botswana listed by O. B. Miller as M. didyma are M. forbesii and most probably Dinter 3036 from Tsumeb, listed as M. didyma in Feddes Reprium is, judging by the locality, also this species. For the relationship between M. didyma and M. prostrata see the notes under the latter species. From: Verdoorn, IC. 1981. Revision of Melhania in southern Africa. Bothalia 13(3 & 4): 263-273. [CC BY]

Habitat

Occurs on grassy slopes, thorn veld or margins of open forests, often near rivers. From: Verdoorn, IC. 1981. Revision of Melhania in southern Africa. Bothalia 13(3 & 4): 263-273. [CC BY]
