Erepsia forficata Seeds

South African Endemic

The name Erepsia is derived from the Greek erepso, I shall hide. Twenty-two species of Erepsia are known, all endemic to the Cape Flora region and typical representatives of fynbos vegetation. Unlike many other mesembs which close their flowers during the night and in overcast weather, the flowers of Erepsia species remain open. Erepsia forficata is a South African endemic species from the Western Cape Province where it can be found growing from the Cape Peninsula to Table Mountain. It grows into a shrub of up to 30 cm tall. During summer it bears white to pink flowers that close at night. It is synonymously known as Erepsia mutabilis, Ruschia filamentosa and Ruschia forficata.
