Characteristics

Slender shrub, 0.5-1.5 m tall. Stem solitary, sparsely branched above or near ground level, branches glabrous. Leaves regularly arranged along the upper parts of the branches, 60-210 mm x 35-140 mm; blade narrowly ovate to ovate, (2)3-pinnate. Ultimate leaflet segments ovate to obovate, 20-40(-60) mm x 10-15 mm, weakly pinnatisect or usually 3-sect; base attenuate; venation not visible; concolorous, glaucous; lobes linear, subterete or sometimes flattened and ribbon-like near the apices (in the Northern Cape Province), 5-30(165) mm x 0.8-1.0(2.0) mm, margins entire; terminal lobes longer, subequal or shorter than adjacent lateral lobes. Petioles up to 35(60) mm long, sheathing usually along almost their entire length or less often at the base only. Inflorescence usually short (less than 1.5 times as long as the diameter of the primary umbel), rarely with 2 lateral umbels. Primary umbel with (11)42-104 rays, orbicular; bracts linear to lanceolate, apex acuminate, glabrous; rays (19)57-80 mm long, subequal, glabrous; bracteoles linear to lanceolate, apex acuminate, glabrous, usually shorter than raylets; raylets glabrous. Flowers with sepals minute, 0.1-0.3 mm long, glabrous; petals glabrous. Fruit rotund to less often elliptic, 4.0-5.0 mm x 2.5-3.5 mm; mericarps homomorphic; median and lateral ribs obsolete or slightly prominent; marginal ribs narrowly-winged; commissural vittae broad; vallecular vittae broad; additional vittae under vascular bundles in ribs, smaller than vallecular vittae.
