03B2B062FFD0FFEAFFDBF2F8FD0FFC43.taxon	diagnosis	4.4.1. Diagnostic characters L. sepiaria is one of the most well-known species in sect. Lebeckia. It differs markedly from L. brevicarpa in the long, linear fruits (up to 40 mm long) and wings that are shorter than the keel. In L. brevicarpa, the fruits are short and ovate (up to 13 mm long) and the wings are longer than the keel (Fig. 11).	en	le Roux, M. M., Van Wyk, B. - E. (2007): A revision of Lebeckia sect.

03B2B062FFD0FFEAFFDBF2F8FD0FFC43.taxon	distribution	4.4.2. Distribution and habitat L. sepiaria occurs only in the Western Cape Province (Fig. 12). It differs markedly from L. ambigua and L. gracilis in occurring mainly at higher altitudes (300 − 1500 m, with only a few localities near Cape Town that are below 300 m). Plants grow in welldrained sandy soil.	en	le Roux, M. M., Van Wyk, B. - E. (2007): A revision of Lebeckia sect. Lebeckia: The L. sepiaria group.
