Abstract
Here we describe two new species of the Ruschieae from the arid Gariep region of north-western South Africa and south-western Namibia. Ruschia gariepensis Klak & P.C. van Wyk forms large spreading, floriferous shrubs and is easily distinguished from similar-looking species in Ruschia subg. Tumidulae (Haw.) Dehn by its 5- to 7-locular fruits on the same plant. Mitrophyllum minutum Klak & P.C. van Wyk, from the Richtersveld of South Africa belongs to Mitrophyllum subg. Mitrophyllum and differs from all other Mitrophyllum by its dwarf habit and small flowers.
期刊介绍：
The South African Journal of Botany publishes original papers that deal with the classification, biodiversity, morphology, physiology, molecular biology, ecology, biotechnology, ethnobotany and other botanically related aspects of species that are of importance to southern Africa. Manuscripts dealing with significant new findings on other species of the world and general botanical principles will also be considered and are encouraged.
