Gomphocarpus cancellatus
10 seeds
"Wild cotton"

Gomphocarpus cancellatus, wild cotton, is an elegant bush, which in the sterile state resembles a protea bush. The flowers are accumulated in dense spherical balls making it an attractive accent plant for any garden. Gomphocarpus cancellatus, is a perrenial herb or shrublet 0.5-1.5 m tall. It produces a few branches at the base from an underground fibrous rootstock.The leaves are broadly egg-shaped, rounded at the base with a sharp point, arranged opposite, slightly fleshy or leathery and with a shiny surface. The branches, stems and leaves vary from glabrous to velvety-hairy. Up to 30 flowers are carried in dense, ball-shaped inflorescences. The flower petals are pale mauve, green or greyish on the outside and cream to white on the inside. The centre of the flower carries the five ivory-coloured, boat-shaped coronal lobes.The flowers produce plentiful amounts of nectar. No apparent scent is detectable, although on some herbarium sheets it is noted that the flowers are sweetly scented. The fruit is beaked, inflated and carries long elongated processes. The surface of the fruit varies from pale greenish to darker green with grey-maroon longitudinal stripes. The mature fruit bursts open and releases the black seeds. Each seed has a coma which is a tuft of white hairs attached at one end. All parts of the plants release milky latex when bruised or damaged. It flowers almost all year round.
