Data required: Se pinnata- gracilis!
John Rourke would like more
information on the Se pinnata-gracilis. The lowland form is known as Se pinnata
and occurs from Klipheuwel to Klapmuts. Se gracilis was once known as Se
pinnata longifolia. It is only known from a very few herbarium records from Paarl and
Franshoek. John wants to relocate and get more data on these to ascertain if they should
be the same or separate species. If atlassers could visit any of the sites below please
look out for this species. If you have a permit, please collect herbarium material (not
ecoscraps). We are atlassing both species as either Se grac or Se pinn.
Top of Franshoek Pass
John has sufficient material from this site. But if you are driving over the pass (on
the summit, west side of road just opposite gravel road to Mont Rochelle), please atlas
its state of flowering and growth.
