Description
Extinct in the wild, this form of E. verticillata was found growing in Protea Park in Pretoria thereafter grown at Kirstenbosch. Handsome shrub to 1,5m with compact habit, deep green leaves and dark, dusky pink, tubular flowers that attract Sunbirds. Sadly agriculture and urban development has wiped out its natural populations on the sandy flats of the Cape Penninsula.
