Notes:
Abundant on serpentine rubble slopes, rock falls, talus or within crevices and joints of weathered rock outcrops. Also present on the ferricrete soils and iron pans of the plateau. A distinct race probably worthy of recognition at species rank. Plants prostrate, branches spreading, forming sprawling masses up to 1 × 3 m. Young branchlets thickly covered in caducous sericeous hairs. Leaves dark bronze-green when fresh, lanceolate, apices very sharp-tipped; adaxial surface glossy, glabrous; abaxial surface of mature leaves with sparse sericeous hairs, that of young growth usually with a thick weft of caducous hairs present near leaf base (mostly aroung midrib); leaf margins of young growth densely sericeous, hairs falling with age leaving a sparsely hairy margin. Flowers up to 15mm diameter, white (without any pink tones). This is one of three distinct races which are sympatric on the serpentine zone of North Cape. This form maintains its prostrate growth habit in cultivation.
