    Glumicalyx lesuticus few stems

    The slender Glumicalyx lesuticus plant in picture has produced few stems, nearly erect in their upper parts. The stems are faintly white-haired, glossy and dark red to brown. Stems of this plant are normally from 10 cm to 35 cm long.

    The bell-shaped flower clusters at the stem-tips are calyx-dominated, tipped with coloured petal parts. They are whitish if seen from behind, orange if viewing the inside surfaces (Springer, 2019: The role of pollinators as ecological drivers of diversification in the Drakensberg Mountain Centre endemic genus Glumicalyx (Scrophulariaceae, Limoselleae), University of the Witwatersrand; iNaturalist; JSTOR).
