Description: We unfortunately only caught the tail end of the flowering season - it must have been spectacular around July/August! Therefore I guess it must be K.rooperi, even though the wildflower book does not place it into northern KZN?

Description: Whatever the correct name for this is, it is certainly succulent! I squeezed just one leaf to see how much water it held (the juice is not thick like B frutescens, but really watery). Just one leaf squeezed, not mangled, gave 5ml clear water. A small patch of plants would give a decent drink to a thirsty ancient or modern forager-hiker!
