Distribution map

H. mucronata var. inconfluens grows in quite large area from Montagu in the West up to Calitzdorp in the East and up to Ladismith, where it is very common plant. Plants from Barrydale area are different, they resembles arachnoidea var. nigricans, but can be distinguished by its translucent leave margins and more yellowish colour. Interesting forms of mucronata/arachnoidea like plants are growing in Montagu area. In the East from Calitzdorp it changes slowly into more greenish var. morrisiae. Interesting intermediate plant arachnoidea nigricans/mucronata inconfluens was observed NW of Van Wyksdorp, plants share characteristics from both species.

H. mucronata var. inconfluens is an attractive species, but like other mucronata species, it is sensitive to over watering. Propagation should be done by seed.
