Eriospermum marginata - Montagu

To my understanding Eriospermum marginata is very similar to Eriospermum zeyheri. Eriospermum marginata has a red leaf edge, however this does not always seem to be the case. Eriospermum zeyheri usually lacks the red margin, but also there I have seen specimens that actually do have it.

Eriospermum marginata occurs roughly from Montagu westwards while Eriospermum zeyheri is found eastwards in the Little Karoo and coast. I shall have to recheck this distribution again later
