I have slowly been building a collection of B. disticha, and B heamanthoides. I understand that B. disticha ranges from Nabia.. down the to the Cape... and then back up to Mozambique. I have forms that are clearly summer growers, winter growers, and some that are evergreen. There are flat leafs, twisted leaf's, narrow leaf's... fat leaf's.... some flower color differences.

So my question is.... What actually differentiates B. disticha from B. heamanthoides.... What makes heamanthoides something other than just a winter growing disticha.....

One thing I can think of is that I believe disticha does not offset....Is the flower structure different? Any experts out there that can shed some light on this?
