Diagnostic description

Zaluzianskya diandra is a most distinctive species, both in habit (well-grown plants are bushy) and in the flowers: the strongly reflexed narrow orange lobes with revolute margins are more like those of many species of Manulea than any Zaluzianskya, but the two well exserted, disproportionately large, anthers are unique. From: Hilliard, OM. 1994. The Manuleae: a tribe of Scrophulariaceae. Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh. [All rights reserved]

Habitat

The plants grow in sandy or gravelly places. From: Hilliard, OM. 1994. The Manuleae: a tribe of Scrophulariaceae. Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh. [All rights reserved]

Distribution

Range from the Tiras Mountains in southern Namibia south to the Orange river at Vioolsdrif and east to Prieska. From: Hilliard, OM. 1994. The Manuleae: a tribe of Scrophulariaceae. Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh. [All rights reserved]
