Distribution map

In Hankey/Patensie area and further to the west up to Uniondale are many variations of small glabrous and spined plants and it is difficult to decide to which species they really belongs. According to Bayer all "cooperoid" plants which are growing to the West from Joubertina are var. gordoniana. There are several distinctive elements in this large area. I will include all gordoniana like items here and all others I will separed in different articles. For example I. Breuer described H. harryi, which covers intermediate "cooperi" forms between H. gordoniana and H. cooperi. (see article on H. harryi) and several other species like ioandra...

H. cooperi var. gordoniana should be propagated by seeds or in case of offsetting clone by offsets. It doesn´t require any special condition than other plants from this group.
