Description
Geissorhiza namaquamontana
Newly described (SA J Botany 2017, 111; pp 299-301), based on this specimen; fairly common from 700-860m on steep s and se facing rocky slopes; in seasonally damp soils and moss pads, to 25cm; only known from 3 collections - here, nr Leliefentein and on the Rooiberg, so yet another Kamiesberg endemic (about 60 now, with another 70 being near endemics!). Should probably be Redlisted as Rare.
From the paper: "This has led us to revise the concept of G. namaquensis, which we now restrict to taller plants up to 300 mm tall, with comparatively larger flowers with tepals
14–18 × ±4 mm and anthers 4.5–5.5 mm long. The shorter plants from the Kamiesberg and Grootberg, 80–160(–250)mm tall, with smaller flowers with tepals 8–10 ×±2mm and anthers 2–3mm long, are described as the new species Geissorhiza namaquamontana."

Common in flat, lowland areas with some standing water in spots along with G. geminata and Drosera. Collected in a drought year so I believe the plant photographed is smaller than usual.
