Robert,

Thanks for your detailed flower description of "D.coccicaulis". Are the
flowers really *light* pink (i.e. not as dark purple as in
_D.aliciae_)? If this is really the case, it could be _D.natalensis_
(but Barry stated the flowers of his plants were purplish !). Also, for
a _D.natalensis_ the leaves are astonishingly coriaceous (at least as
can be inferred from the photographs I have from you). Let's wait for
the (ripe) seed if they are fusiform.

TNX again

Jan
