Huernia humpatana Bruyns   

DESCRIPTION: closely related to H. similis N.E.Br., is described from the Chela Mountains of Huila Province in southern Angola. The two species are distinguished by the 5-angled and erect stems with more prominent tubercles up to 6 mm long joined into clear angles and separated by V-shaped grooves in H. humpatana as opposed to very obtusely 4-angled stems with tubercles only 2 mm long and only indistinct grooves between the angles in H. similis. Furthermore, in H. similis the nodding corolla is ± 9 mm in diameter with sepals ± 2 mm long, while in H. humpatana the horizontally facing corolla is 18–20 mm in diameter with sepals 4–6 mm long.
