Cheiridopsis acuminata
Cheiridopsis are found in the western part of South Africa, and also in the south-western part of Namibia, in dry places where the rainfall is mostly in winter. This one is Cheiridopsis acuminata, from the Richtersveld in the northwest corner of South Africa. Like many of its relatives, it flowers during winter. The usual flower color is yellow, but our plant at the Ruth Bancroft Garden has very pale petals, nearly white.
