Not previously known to occur west of Agulhas, supposed to be a reseeder, but these were sprouting post fire. Maybe sp. nov.?

Bit of a difficult one. For now we file it here. Stems canescent but browsed low only about 30 cm high. Recurved mucronate leaf tips. Flowers dirty pink in few flowered spikes or single amongst the leaves. On limestone near an old mine, not many seen.

Kleinmond fat Psoralea eater reared
28 Aug 2016:
Collected large individual of previously failed caterpillar on Psoralea aculeata next to footpath on the circle walk above Palmiet bridge.
31 Aug 2016:
The caterpillar stopped eating and started wandering around its tub.
1 Sep 2016:
When I provided soil from the caterpillar's collection site it immediately disappeared into it.
10 Jan 2017:
Adult moth emerged, surprisingly small and drab after such a jolly fat caterpillar. Only goes to show... something.

Close to uniflora or pinea, but does not seem to match either. Further investigation needed.

We thought these would keep us awake! The rooster and his hen in the Coral tree were horrendously noisy way before dawn. The peacocks were silent!
