Erucastrum griquense O.E.Schulz

Erect herbs 12-35 cm high, branched. Stem and branches hispid with very coarse spreading hairs and finer, ± retrorse hairs, sparser above, the rhachis mostly with only the fine hairs. Basal and lower stem leaves shortly petiolate, 2.5-7.5 cm long, lyrate-pinnatifid, 1-2-jugate, the upper pair of lobes ± confluent with the terminal lobe; lateral lobes small, ± deltoid to deltoid-ovate; terminal lobe large, ovate-oblong to obovate-oblong, serrate-dentate; leaves becoming smaller and narrower higher up, and with only 1 pair of lobes. Upper stem leaves sessile or subsessile, ± oblong to ovate-lanceolate, subamplexicaul-lobate at the base, the margin dentate or serrate; all leaves hispid on both sides, dense below, the lower surface of the midrib with coarser hairs. Racemes terminal, sub-lax in fruit, generally ebracteate. Sepals 4 mm long, thinly hairy. Petals 5.5-7 mm long, narrowly oblanceolate or ± spathulate with a long narrow claw. Filaments 3-3.7 and 3.5-4.3 mm long. Anthers ±1 mm long. Ovary linear, at first glabrous or only minutely puberulous but soon scabro-puberulous. Siliquae on wide-spreading or ascending, 0.3-1.1 cm long pedicels, 2-3.5 cm long, 1.3-1.6 mm broad and ±2 mm deep from midrib to midrib, linear, erect; valves 1-nerved, rounded, subtorulose, scabrous with short upward-pointing hairs, not or only very slightly emarginate at the apex; beak 0.5-2 mm long, subconical or only slightly tapering with a flat-capitate stigma. Seeds not strictly in one row, 0.8-1.1 x 0.7-0.8 mm, sub-ovoid, somewhat compressed.
