Plants of this species form small shrubs up to 50 cm tall with bright green leaves which are triangular in cross section and about 1.5 cm long, spreading with a reddish, recurved tip.
The flowers are 1.5-2 cm in diameter, white to pink, often with 3 together; they appear from spring to summer.
The species does not occur in many places, but is sometimes abundant in loamy soils from just west of Oudtshoorn to Willowmore.
The last picture was taken on the back road from Montagu and Anysberg. It seems to me that the plants in this population have all the typical characteristics of D. peersii, so the species may be more widely distributed than is recorded.
