Stellenbosch University Botanical Garden, South Africa

Common name: Horingkies, Twin spurs

Family: Scrophulariaceae (Snapdragon)

Distribution: Free State, KwaZulu-Natal

National red list: Least Concern

Comments: Diascia species are pollinated by a specialised genus of bee, whose forelegs have evolved to as much as three times their normal length in order to reach into the spurs of the flower to harvest the fatty oil produced by the glands. This modification seems to be restricted to the females, as few males of the species have been found to have excessively long forelegs.
