Dianthus basuticus

Dianthus basuticus, called the Drakensberg carnation, Lesotho carnation, Lesotho pink, hlokoa‑la‑tsela in the Sesotho language and Lesothose wilde angelier in Afrikaans, is a species of Dianthus native to South Africa and Lesotho.[1][2]

Distribution

It is a near-endemic of the Drakensberg Alpine Centre,[3] and occurs predominantly on rocky, grassy slopes, from Avontuur and the Kammanassie mountains in the Western Cape, through the Eastern Cape and into KwaZulu-Natal Province.[4]

The northernmost records are from near Belfast and Pilgrim's Rest in Mpumalanga Province. Other records are from Kokstad and Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal, as well as Harrismith and Clocolan in the Free State Province.

The subspecies fourcadei occupies the westernmost extent of the species distribution range, occurring in the mountainous Uniondale, Langkloof and Kouga regions, around the boundary between the Western and Eastern Cape provinces.[5]

Description

Dianthus basuticus is a densely tufted perennial reaching 15–20 cm, with linear (50mm x 5mm) blue-grey leaves, densely clumped near to the ground.

The inflorescence is usually branched, and rises c. 15 cm above the main leaf tufts.[6]

The flowers are usually dark pink, c. 20 mm wide, and appear in Summer-Autumn (Nov-Apr.). The petals are broad and obovate (those of most other South African species are narrower and oblanceolate) with only minutely toothed or serrated tips. The petals are sometimes slightly recurved.

The calyx is 15–20 mm in length, with 2-3 bract-pairs. The bracts are 15-20mm long.[7]

Cauchy's theorem (geometry)

Convex polytopes in R³ with congruent corresponding faces must be congruent to each other Cauchy's theorem is a theorem in geometry, named after Augustin Cauchy. It states that convex polytopes in three dimensions with congruent corresponding faces must be congruent to each other. That is, any polyhedral net formed by unfolding the faces of the polyhedron onto a flat surface, together with gluing instructions describing which faces should be connected to each other, uniquely determines the s...
