  Many thousands of plants at this site. Mostly single-stemmed and upright but occasionally multi-stemmed and ascending stems on plants one foot wide. Flowers very small, same size as Cicendia and Sebaea.

  1. Chris Lindorff  Suggest comparing with Centrolepis aristata. Also looks like a Cicendia amongst it.

     Reply • 12 Nov 2014

  2. • Russell Best  Brilliant Chris. Thanks. I should have got that myself because I was looking at C. aristata a few days ago. The other one is Cicendia filiformis.

  1. Chris Lindorff  Immediately Aphelia gracilis sprung to mind, but I haven't seen it this robust. What size is it?

     Reply • 12 Nov 2014

  2. • Russell Best  I hadn't contemplate Aphelia gracilis (despite finding A. pumilio at this site just a week ago!). Closest I could come up with is Isolepis levynsiana. I will look into A. gracilis. The whole plant was small, maybe 10cm across.
