Bushveld Crossandra – Crossandra greenstockii - Acanthaceae
The following quotation is from Braam van Wyk’s book “A photographic Guide to Wild Flowers of South Africa”
An erect perennial herb up to 30cm high, sprouting annually from a woody rootstock; occurring in bushveld.
When the dry capsules are wetted by rain, they split explosively, ejecting the seed some distance from the plant.
