Aspalathus sericea P.J.Bergius
LC Indigenous Endemic

Morphological description

An erect, straight, rather slender, little or unbranched shrublet up to 0.8(-1) m tall. Stem rod-like, clothed on the young parts with sericeous-tomentose pubescence. Leaves of young long-shoots with one large leaflet and no or only rudimentary lateral leaflets; axillary short-shoots developed in the leaf axils(but still small during flowering); the (middle) leaflets lanceolate, 6-14 x 2-5 mm, acute-acuminate, silvery sericeous on both sides(not glabrescent as in A. aemula). Inflorescence a pyramidal to elongate spike with 20-30(-35) flowers. Bract lanceolate, 6-11 x 0.7-3 mm, soft, sericeous. Pedicel ±1 mm long or less, sericeous. Bracteoles subfiliform, 6-11 mm long, sericeous. Calyx tubular, sericeous; lobes narrowly triangular, 2.5-4.5 mm long, pointed. Petals light yellow, with sericeous pubescence. Standard blade ovate, 9-10.5 x 6-7 mm, obtuse-acute, sericeous on the back. Wing blade very narrowly obovate-oblong, 9-9.5 x 3.7-4.5 mm, sericeous on most parts, but glabrous on upper basal parts; these with several rows of minute folds. Keel blade lunate, 6.5-8 x 3.5-4 mm, with nearly straight upper margin, sericeous on the lower two-thirds. Pistil sericeous on ovary and basal third of style; ovules 4. Pods lanceolate, 6-8 x 2.0-2.5 mm, smooth, sericeous. From: Dahlgren, RMT. 1988. Papilionoideae: Crotalarieae (Aspalathus). Fl. S. Africa 16(3,6): 1-430. BRI, Pretoria.

Diagnostic description

Differs from A. aemula in the more slender habit, more slender flowers and more sericeous pubescence. The two species are otherwise obviously very closely related. From: Dahlgren, RMT. 1988. Papilionoideae: Crotalarieae (Aspalathus). Fl. S. Africa 16(3,6): 1-430. BRI, Pretoria. [http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/209549#page/1/mode/1up] [CC BY] As: Paraspalathus sericea (P.J.Bergius) C.Presl

Habitat

The habitat is flats on marine sand or sandy plains at the foot of the mountains, rarely in sand on sandstone hills, e.g. on top of the Muizenberg Mountain. It grows in fynbos, and is locally a striking element therein. From: Dahlgren, RMT. 1988. Papilionoideae: Crotalarieae (Aspalathus). Fl. S. Africa 16(3,6): 1-430. BRI, Pretoria.

Distribution

Distributed on sandy lowlands from near Cape Agulhas (Bredasdorp Division) through the coastal regions of the Caledon and Somerset West Divisions, the Peninsula and Cape Flats (Cape Town and Bellville Divisions) to the central part of the Malmesbury Division in the north-west.
