Description

B. barkerae reaches up to 0.6 meters in height. It has ciliate leaf-margins, and relatively few, broad leaves.

Distribution and habitat

It is endemic to the southern parts of the Western Cape Province, South Africa. It naturally occurs in the regions of Caledon, Bredasdorp, Potberg, Swellendam and Riversdale.

Its preferred habitat is flat or gently sloping terrain, often of rocky shale or clay, in renosterveld vegetation.
