Knoppies-beestong
Nectar-rich, tubular soft pink flowers transition to soft green at the mouths of ox's tongue (Gasteria batesiana), a favorite of sunbirdsโthe African equivalent of hummingbirds. The plant's deep green, triangular lanceolate leaves are ornamented with white spots in transverse bands. This succulent can tolerate some shade and is found in nature growing on north and east cliff faces. Potting medium has to be very well drained.
This species was not described until the middle of the twentieth century. The specific epithet (species name) of ox's tongue honors a Mr. Bates, who was a London trolley driver and noted collector of South African succulents.
