Ah, thanks, I seem to remember that now that you mention it. But I think that's a slightly less fun answer than nonsense syllables.Kloof means cleft or gorge in Afrikaans.
If I recall, the leaves are more than just wide - they're so wide that they undulate and give the plant an irregular, frilly appearance. The name might signify a location, but I would argue that it's definitely a form as well, as this plant is very visually distinct.AFAIK "Blaine's Kloof" was never a form or cultivar... just a place. The capensis from there allegedly have wider leaves than the rest, and probably the other plants from there differ from other locations as well... just like every other location.
Does anyone know what the difference is between D. cuneifolia and D. cuneifolia bainskloof?
anyone have the the REAL thing?
the really wide form?
