Aspalathus grobleri R.Dahlgren

A prostrate, closely ramified shrublet with branches up to 0.5 m long or longer; young branches short-tomentose. Leaflets linear, slender, 3-7(-9) mm long and 0.2-0.3 mm thick, weak, slightly S-curved (with recurved apex), tapering apically, rather sparsely short-sericeous, often ± violet. Inflorescences bi-or unifloral, on the tips of short lateral branchlets (perhaps, sometimes, with a long, pedunclelike internode). Bract linear-subulate, 1.2-2 x ±0.2 mm, puberulous-sericeous. Pedicel very short. Bracteoles 0.8-1.2 mm. Calyx closely silky-sericeous; the lobes linear, (3-)3.5-4.5 mm long, subterete, slender, weak, silky-sericeous (similar to the leaflets). Petals light yellow or ± purplish, dark purple when fading. Standard blade broadly obovate, 6.5-7 x 7.2-7.8 mm, obtuse or acute and with a short 'tip', sericeous on most of the back, glabrous on the front. Wing blades (2.7-)3.7-4.3 x 1.7-2.3 mm. Keel blades 5.4-6.1 x 3.3-3.7 mm, with slightly convex upper margin. Pistil sericeous on upper half of ovary and upper side of the basal half of the style. Pod obliquely ovate, 6-7 x ±3 mm, short-sericeous.
