Cleome maculata, a species of cleome native to southern Africa, can be found in sandy soils and rocky habitats on slopes. It is an annual plant that is typically less than a foot tall and has sparse leaves with three to five compound linear leaflets. The flowers are mauve with two petals having a yellow center bordered by dark purple. The stamens are long and up-curved with bluish, knobby anthers. The fruit is a linear capsule. While it is a pioneer plant, it has the potential to become a weed. This species is commonly found in highveld regions with medium rainfall in South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia.
