Field Collection Notes
One small plant only on egde of estuary. Growing amongst smilax, gorse and boxthorn. Not flowering.
"branchlet hairs mostly divergent, amixed with patches of long, antrorse-appressed, flexuous hairs suggestive of introgression with K. aff. ericoides (b). Foliage typical of K. aff. ericoides (e) "Thornton". Both putative parents present in the area (see AK 300902, 300903, 300905, 300907) and this habitat is grossly modified so hybridism would be expected". (P. J. de Lange notes 25 October 2007).
