Morphological description

Small bushy shrublet with a perennial rootstock, 5-30 cm tall, annual growth arising from the base, young branches grey tomentose. Stipules subulate, 5-10 mm long, usually pubescent with grey crisped hairs. Leaves with the blade often silvery grey- stellate-tomentose, the upper surface becoming thinly so or glabrescent, lower surface densely grey stellate-tomentose and sometimes with scattered glands as well, oblong-elliptic, 2 x 1.2-5 x 2.5 cm, varying in texture from rather thin to rather thick, subtruncate or subrounded at the apex, rounded to somewhat cuneate at the base, margins crenate-dentate, lateral veins prominent and running into the lobes; petiole 5-15 mm long. Inflorescence axillary, usually 1-flowered, rarely 2-flowered, peduncle short and straight 2-5 mm long, pedicels, if present, up to 2.5 mm long. Epicalyx-bracts linear-subulate, 5-10 mm long, shorter than the calyx-lobes, grey stellate-tomentose on both surfaces. Calyx with lobes lanceolate, acuminate, 8-14 mm long, 3 mm broad, grey tomentose dorsally. Petals bright yellow, 6-12 mm long, shorter than the calyx. Stamens slightly shorter than the ligulate staminodes. Ovary globose, densely stellate-tomentose; style 2-7 mm long, sometimes with a twist, branches 0.5-1 mm long. Capsule densely stellate-tomentose; seeds usually 4 in a cell. From: Verdoorn, IC. 1981. Revision of Melhania in southern Africa. Bothalia 13(3 & 4): 263-273. [CC BY]

Shrublet, up to 300 mm tall. Flower stalk short, 4 mm long, shorter than petiole, usually 1-flowered. Epicalyx bracts linear-subulate. Flowers bright yellow. From: Retief, E; Herman, PPJ. 1997.

Diagnostic description

The confusion that existed between this species and M. rehmannii is understandable for, until one has recognized the features that distinguish them, these species look very much alike. The specimen on which Bolus based the greater part of his description of M. griquensis, i.e. Orpen sub Bolus 6015, is a mixed gathering. Four of the portions have the linear-subulate epicalyx bracts as described by Bolus, and the fifth, on the left hand side of the sheet, the ovate bracts of M. rehmannii. The distribution of these two species overlap in the northern Cape and parts of the Transvaal. A further distinguishing feature is that the peduncles in M. virescens are short (usually shorter than the petiole) and suberect and the pedicels, if present, are also short and suberect, whole in M. rehmannii the peduncles are somewhat longer (about as long as or longer than the petiole) and the pedicels, if present, longer, thinner and cernuous. With regard to the distribution, as mentioned above, these species overlap in the northern Cape and the Transvaal, but M. virescens extends further westward in South West Africa. According to collectors’ notes M. virescens is restricted to limy soil, while M. rehmannii is not so restricted and is much more widespread. The specimens added by N. E. Brown to Bolus’s original description of M. griquensis, namely Burchell 2385, Holub s.n. Rehmann 5220 are all M. rehmannii. From: Verdoorn, IC. 1981. Revision of Melhania in southern Africa.
