Distrib. Natal, South Africa. 
A shrub with trailing twigs and small edible fruits, common in long grass 
about Chirinda and noticed in the somewhat denser bush about Maruma. 
It occurs in the Jihu even in the dense bush, but is less common than 
R. sansibarensis, Gilg. The roots take the form of long, hard tubers, and 
' are a great obstacle to the plough, greatly increasing the cost of cultivation 
when present. These roots are pounded up by the natives and mixed with 
meal to form a thin porridge for pains in the chest.
