“…1). It matches none of the species described by Polhill (1974), nor that described by Germishuizen (1998). All of the localities at which the taxon has been collected are on dolomite-derived soils.…”

“…P. mesopontica Polhill and P. Java (Bak. f.) Polhill, each with two subspecies, are related but more isolated and occur within the Chimanimani Mountains and Katangan Centre respectively, both of which are well known centres of endemism (Wild 1964;White 1965 (Germishuizen 1998). This shows that Pearsonia has a significant number of taxa that are geographically a n d or edaphically isolated.…”

The Wolkberg Centre of endemism (northeastern Drakensberg escarpment) has a high proportion of species endemic to dolomite‐ and quartzite‐derived soils. The Legalameetse Nature Reserve falls largely within the Chuniespoort Formation, which constitutes the dolomite component of the Wolkberg Centre. A number of species that occur within Legalameetse do not match existing material. Among the new taxa discovered is a species of Pearsonia Dümmer, which also occurs on the Wolkberg and in the Ribbokkop area. Pearsonia callistoma is most closely related to P. uniflora. In this paper, the new species is described and its geographical distribution, habitat, flowering time and conservation status are discussed. We also present a revised key for the genus Pearsonia.
