ORIGIN/HABITAT: Widespread in tropical east Africa to as far south as Cape Province in South Africa. In the Republic of South Africa, plants are found in South and East Cape, Transkei, Natal, Swaziland, and East Transvaal. They usually grow in old fixed sands, coastal podsols, and reddish to light brown sands, clays and lateritic soils. They form local colonies of up to 50 plants in open to rather sheltered places in coastal brush, valley bushveld, thorny bush of the lowveld, and inland mountain grassveld. Plants are reported at elevations from sea level to 3300 ft. (1000 m).
