Diagnostic description

This species is similar to Anginon fruticosum but differs in the lateral racemes which terminate in simple umbels (compound in A. fruticosum) and also in the unbranched resin ducts of the petals (branched in A. fruticosum). The leaves are longer than in A. fruticosum and vary from totally laminate (lower parts of the stem), to laminate only at the apex (middle of the stem), to junciform and without any lamina (upper part of the stem, directly below the inflorescence). This species is also similar to A. verticillatum, but differs in the junciform or nearly junciform mature leaves. A. intermedium co-occurs with A. verticillatum and A. difforme at several localities in Namaqualand but we have not found any evidence of hybridization or introgression.
