Rashida ji I was also tossing between these two species, and had almost decided on A. azurea till I saw calyx lobes. They are supposed to be linear with calyx divided nearly to the base and flowers 1.5-2 cm across. I don't exactly remember the flower size and it can't be made out from photographs, but the calyx lobes are triangular and shorter than tube, that matches with A. capensis and clinched the issue for me. Let us see more comments.
