Hi Retha
Thanks for visiting Plantbook.
The afrikaans name is Kleinia. This is a case where we don’t know whether the Afrikaans name influenced the scientific name or vice versa.
Flourish!

Weet jy jy dalk wat sy afrikaanse naam is?
Hi Wouter
Thanks for visiting Plantbook and for sharing our passion for South Africa’s spectacular floral treasures.
It is a truly amazing plant with a wonderful fragrance.
Although not as strongly scented, the Crassula arborescens is another succulent that has a fragrant flower.
Flourish!

Die eerste vetplant wat ek nog ooit teëgekom het met welriekende blomme. Besonder interessante bloeiwyse wat as 1 blom voorkom maar eintlik `n massa klein blommetjies is. God se skepping is ongelooflik fassinerend !
