lavranii: for J. Lavranos
H. sordida var. lavranii is smaller and more rare variety of sordida. It has much shorter, recurved leaves. Colour is dark green and it remains usually solitairy as type form. This variety was formally described as Western form of sordida, but in the mean time there have been more "typical" sordida found further to the West and NW. In few localities I have seen I observed 95% of lavranii and few plants which resembles sordida. This confirms latest thougts that lavranii should belong to sordida.
Var. lavranii occurs at Steytlerville area with TL near farm Tretyre. It seems it prefers more steeper slopes, where it hides amongst the bushes or stones. Very often it grows with H. arachnoidea var. tretyrensis. In cultivation it is even more difficult than normal sordida and propagation should be done by seeds.
Known localities:
- Perdehoek (3324AC)
- NE. Die Bordjie, Baroe (3324BC)
- N. Steytletville (3324AD)
- E. Tretyre (3324BC)
- near Noaga (3324BC)
