| dc.description.abstract | A taxonomic revision of the genus Commicarpus in southern African is presented and includes a key to the
species, complete nomenclature and a description of all infrageneric taxa. The geographical distribution,
notes on the ecology and traditional uses of the species are given. Eight species of Commicarpus with five infraspecific
taxa are recognized in southern Africa and a new variety, C. squarrosus (Heimerl) Standl. var.
fruticosus (Pohn.) Struwig is proposed. Commicarpus species can be distinguished from one another by variation
in the shape and indumentum of the lower coriaceous part of the flower and the anthocarp. Soil analyses
confirmed the members of the genus to be calciophiles, with some species showing a specific preference
for soils rich in heavy metals | en_US |
