Diagnostic description

The calyx of C. glabrata conceals the wing and keel petal claws, and the filament bases. These features are exposed in flowers of C. sericea, which C. glabrata otherwise resembles. In general outline and size, flowers of C. glabrata may resemble those of C. floribunda, but the pubescence of the leaves, calyx and ovary of the latter is denser than in C. glabrata. From: Beaumont, AJ; Beckett, RP; Edwards, TJ; Stirton, CH. 1999. Revision of the genus Calpurnia (Sophoreae: Leguminosae). Bothalia 29(1): 5-23. [CC BY]

Habitat

It occurs between 200 to 1 500 m. From: Beaumont, AJ; Beckett, RP; Edwards, TJ; Stirton, CH. 1999. Revision of the genus Calpurnia (Sophoreae: Leguminosae). Bothalia 29(1): 5-23. [CC BY]

Distribution

C. glabrata is concentrated in Swaziland but it also occurs in Mpumalanga between 30° and 31° E and in KwaZulu-Natal to 29° S. From: Beaumont, AJ; Beckett, RP; Edwards, TJ; Stirton, CH. 1999. Revision of the genus Calpurnia (Sophoreae: Leguminosae). Bothalia 29(1): 5-23. [CC BY]
