Thanks to Gottfried Milkuhn, Rimmer deVries, and Paul Cumbleton, we now have some definitive and/or putative IDs for some of the massonias I have sent to the BX over the years M15 (Vleesbaai) and M16 (Plettenberg Bay): Massonia setulosa M46: Massonia tenella (not pygmaea) M52: Well, it's NOT M. pygmaea, that's for sure, and it might be a new species or subspecies. Gottfried's plant is blooming this year, and the flowers are similar to the recently described M. mimetica which grows in a very different habitat. Is anyone else here growing M52 from BX290? If so, Gottfried is looking for pollen. Here are some habitat pics for those who are interested: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GTx6JVCbEDYC1oFY9/ M59: Massonia inaequalis, so named for the differing length of the stamens. Newly published in 2018: http://massonia.com/documents/inaequalis.pdf Note that M59 has smooth leaves as opposed to the pustulate leaves described in the literature. This appears to be a regional variant, as M59 was collected ~5km south of the type.
