Grielum tenuifolium

[Ted Oliver]

Dr Yusheng Liu asked

I would very much appreciate if one of you could offer me the inforamtion
about the distribution and ecology of the following two plants:

Grielum tenuifolium (Neuradaceae)
Dendriopoterium menendezii (Rosaceae)

Grielum grandiflorum (L.) Druce (=G.tenuifolium L.) occurs on the
west coast of the Western Cape, South Africa (just north of Cape
Town). It inhabits sandy flats and dune areas.

The second species seems to be endemic to the Canary Islands.
