habdomadis: referring to the Seweweekspoort

H. mucronata var. habdomadis is a "mucronata" element from area around Seweweekspoort. It grows in a sandstone, from lower to higher altitudes, it is slowly proliferous species. Some forms has spined leaves others not. Leaves are broader and shorter than in var. mucronata. North of Seweweekspoort grows some intermediate form of H.decipiens, H. arachnoidea and maybe var. habdomadis is mixed there too. Near South entrance of Seweweeks poort grows typical mucronata var. inconfluens, which makes var. habdomadis somehow restricted to the poort it self - and probably to the surrounding mountains as well.

Distribution map

In cultivation to me the mucronata group is a bit tricky - sensitive to too much water in wrong time and needs a bit more shade. Propagation is usually by seed, sometimes by offsetts.

Known localities:

• Dwarsrivier (3321AC)
• Swartbergkloof (3321AC)
• Seweweekspoort (3321AD)
• lower Seweweekspoort (3321AD)
