The locality is perhaps outside the Tropic. We had also a living plant at Kew in 
1894, obtained from Mr. H. Rider Haggard, believed to come from an intertropical 
station. The species is widely spread in South Africa,

This plant was originally described as a native of Zanzibar, but, according to 
Mr. L. Linden, it came from the Congo Region. 
A plant collected by Fleck in Hereroland is referred doubtfully by Dr. Schinz to 
the nearly-allied C. forbesianum, Herb, (Bot. Mag. t. 6545). °
