Long-horned Twinspur

The long-horned Twinspur or Diascia tanyceras is a delicate annual wild flower found along the west coast of South Africa and Namaqualand. It falls within the sphere of a herb.

We found many of them in the West Coast National Park in the Western Cape. Its Afrikaans name is Bokhorinkies.
