Ruschia multiflora

Ruschia multiflora, in Afrikaans commonly the kraalvygie (corral or kraal mesemb), is a much-branched shrub that reaches 1 m in height.

The white flowers grow stalked in clusters at and near stem-tips. Flower diameter is less than 10 mm. Flowering happens from before midspring to early summer.

The species distribution is in the Western Cape, largely the Little Karoo. The photo was taken on Minwater farm near Oudtshoorn.

The habitat is lowland sandy flats and slopes, often in disturbed spots. The species is not considered threatened in habitat early in the twenty first century (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist; http://redlist.sanbi.org).
