2. Greetings
   I’m Winfred Ngwenya from Lowveld National Botanical garden . I’m writing an article about Kleinia galpinii, could you please assist with the picture and how are the seeds and fruits look like. I know the plant and its flower only.
   Thank you

3. Hi Rita

   Thanks for visiting Plantbook.

   These plants are very similar and it’s often difficult to distinguish easily. There is a slight difference in the leaf size and structure but they have identical growing conditions, so you can use the guidelines for both species.

4. What is the difference between Kleinia fulgens and Kleinia galpinii.
   The Afrikaans name is Bosveld Angelier.

5. 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.

6. Weet jy jy dalk wat sy afrikaanse naam is?

7. 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.

8. 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 !
