Pachycarpus concolor subsp. transvaalensis leafy inflorescence

A Pachycarpus concolor subsp. transvaalensis plant doing well in its grassy, sometimes montane habitat, shows long, wavy leaves with conspicuous, creamy midribs ascending wider and higher than its often paired leaf axil flowers.

Flower availability to pollinators is optimal and stylish in their erect raceme-like presentation. The large, robust flower structure should be convenient for bigger insects like beetles and bees (Pooley, 1998; iNaturalist; iSpot; JSTOR; https://www.worldfloraonline.org).
