Othonna coronopifolia sparse stems

Othonna coronopifolia bushes may be compact with leaves crowded at the upper stems, particularly on plants growing near the coast.

This sparse Kagga Kamma plant has elongated, well-spaced branches, wand-like with long internodes between leaves or leaf clusters. The smooth stems are pale grey to reddish (Manning 2007; Manning and Goldblatt, 1997; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist; JSTOR).
