This species differs from Dimorphotheca nudicaulis var. nudicaulis in having narrow, grass-like leaves.
Stemless geophyte, bulbs are large and gummy.  Flowers are bright yellow and borne singly; after flowering the flower stem arches over to bring the developing seeds near to the ground. Sandy flats and lower slopes.

Botanical Features
Growth Form: Low-growing, stemless plant usually reaching 5–10 cm in height, growing from a sticky, gummy underground bulb.
Foliage: Trifoliate (three-parted) leaves with wedge-shaped leaflets. The top surface is bright green to bluish-glaucous, sometimes featuring maroon speckles, while the undersides often show prominent veins flushed with deep purple or crimson.
Flowers: Solitary, funnel-shaped flowers in a vibrant butter-yellow or bright golden-yellow. The blooms open fully in bright sunlight and close up tightly on overcast days.
Flowering Period: Late autumn through winter into early spring. After blooming, the flower stalks bend downward to bring the developing seeds close to the soil surface.
Habitat & Growth Cycle
Habitat: Grows on sandy flats, coastal dunes, and lower mountain slopes in fynbos landscapes.
Life Cycle: Follows a winter-rainfall growth strategy—sprouting and blooming during the cool, wet months before setting seeds and going dormant underground for the hot, dry summer.
