A good deal of variation in leaf size, shape and texture is included in the present concept of S. africana-lutea. The typical form has relatively thick-textured, small leaves, elliptic or oblong to obovate-elliptic or oblanceolate-oblong, 12-35 x 6-15(-20) mm, densely grey-tomentose, with apex obtuse to rounded, base cuneate to obtuse, margin entire and petioles 2-7(-12) mm long. It occurs along the Cape coast from about Kleinsee in Namaqualand to Port Elizabeth in the east, on coastal dunes and adjoining hills. In addition, there are a few gatherings from the Piketberg-Clanwilliam-Citrusdal area (Schlechter 4976; 8376; Marloth 11494; Hanekom 1186) at altitudes up to 800 m, with thin-textured, fairly large leaves, broadly ovate-elliptic to subrotund, 25-55 x 22-40 mm, sparingly glandular pubescent, apex rounded, base rounded to truncate or subcordate, sometimes auriculate, margin eroso-crenulate and petioles 5-15 mm long. The type of S. eckloniana, Ecklon s.n. from Clanwilliam district, is such a specimen. Hedge (l.c.) considers this form to represent a juvenile condition but this seems unlikely, and separate varietal status would appear to be justified. However, it is felt that more study is required, particularly in the field, especially as intermediate specimens have been seen from the Peninsula, at altitudes of up to 550 m (Marloth 273; Goldblatt 2662). It may be noted that leaf shape and leaf margin in the closely related species, S. lanceolata, show a similar range of variation, but not as marked as in S. africana-lutea. From: Codd, LEW. 1985.
