Afroqueta capensis

Afroqueta capensis is a perennial subshrub native to the tropical southern regions of Zimbabwe to KwaZulu-Natal.[2] It is colloquially is called Haarbossie.[3]

Afroqueta capensis was originally designated as Piriqueta capensis, phylogenetic analysis of Turneroideae suggested A. capensis was closer related to other African members of the subfamily.[4] In addition to its location, it can morphologically be distinguished from other members of the Turneroideae by its 10 veined nearly free calyx tubes and its corona which is reduced to tufts of hairs around the base of the perianth.[5] Its flowers are described as heterostylous or homostylous and yellow. [4][6]

As of 2015, A. capensis conservation status is "least concern" as it is considered widespread and a very common plant.[3]
