Vexatorella amoena is a shrub of 1 m high with trailing lower branches, flower heads each subtended by three or four whorls of very woolly bracts that form a conspicuous involucre, shorter oval to elliptic leaves 15–30 mm long, which grows at the south end of the Kouebokkeveld Mountains the adjacent Swartruggens range.
V. alpina is an upright shrub of up to 1½ m high with groups of two to six heads at the tip of the branches, each subtended by a single row of bracts forming an inconspicuous involucre, and long inverted oval to elliptic leaves of 30–45 mm long, 5–13 mm wide, which is an endemic of the Kamiesberg.
V. latebrosa has solitary flower heads, each containing as much as forty to fifty flowers, line- to somewhat spoon-shaped leaves, and is an endemic of the Langeberg near Robertson.
V. obtusata has linear or somewhat spoon-shaped of 9–45 mm long.
Its subspecies obtusata is a prostrate shrub that can only be found in the Montagu and Worcester districts, while subspecies albomontana is an upright shrub from around the Perdekloof Pass.
Leucospermum secundifolium also has bracteoles that become woody, but its leaves are stalked and its flower heads are not at the tip of the branches, and grows on the southern slopes of the Klein Swartberg mountains.
