Pectinaria

This genus which was described by Haworth now contains three species with several subspecies in P. articulata. Pectinaria is found in the western parts of South Africa. The plants are mat forming with interesting flowers, in P. articulata the lobes are joined at their tips and appears to be cut of with an knife (especially in the subspecies articulata). In P. maughnii and P. longipes the flowers are also small but with spreading lobes. The latter two species were classified as species of Vadulia until the recent revision by Bruyns.
