Aspalathus forbesii flowers

The flowers of Aspalathus forbesii grow in few-flowered heads at stem-tips. The calyx is silky from short, pale hairs, the keel glabrous (hairless). The upper lobes are deeply separated. Flower colour is white or cream, sometimes suffused with pink on the wings.

The plant flowers all year round, less at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter when the photo was taken (Manning, 2007; Bean and Johns, 2005; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iSpot).
