ruthcozien's Identifications

EE Galpin collected the earliest specimen in June 1894 at a mountain near Glen Grey. The precise locality was unknown for many years. In a joint effort by Dr Ruth Cozien from the Center for Functional Biodiversity at UKZN and myself we relocated a few plants of Nerine bowdenii ssp. bowdenii at this locality after 130 years. This was thanks to Tony Dold, curator of the Selmar Schonland Herbarium, Grahamstown, who deciphered Galpin's handwriting and pointing us to the right mountain range.

A quick water stop. And look who was waiting for me!
Flowers underneath the leaves.
The little dragons Pseudocordylis subviridis are the pollinators.
Lovely Veld&Flora article about it. Will see if I can find a link to it
