Habitat

In coastal dune slacks and seeps in dune areas where water is forced to the surface by rock strata; one inland locality on an outcrop of silcrete. Ellis noted the presence of lacunae in the leaf blades, an apparent adaptation to aquatic environments. From: Mashau, AC; Fish, L. 2015. Capeochloa H.P.Linder & N.P.Barker.
