Re: Conophytum regale
They are on a single ridge and I've been there 3 times but never ventured far as it's so close to the road and easy for a quick look to "see how it's doing" on the way back to our O'Kiep hotel at the end of the day. So I asked SH if SB.793 and SH.84.1 are the same.......
I do know; and that depends on how you define ridge.
SH 84.1 was right next to the road - I was surprised, only 30 meters or so, very low down, s-facing - and just from a collected seed pod in 1985 with Bryan (Makin).;
SB 793 is at the extreme east end, near the highest point, northish-facing but (mostly) deep
in. ARM showed it to us in 1982. (So probably half a km away from 84.1). I would think they would be + - unconnected by pollinators. Funny, 84.1 is smaller here, but the looseness seems typical...
It's an easily accessed place so very vulnerable to collecting and I got the impression on my third visit last May that there were far fewer plants closer to the road than when I first looked in 1992.
