It is very singular that this remarkable species should not appear in any 
of the collections of Hesse, Ecklon, Drège, or Harvey. One specimen 
exists in Mr. Lambert’s Herbarium ; another in Sir W. Hooker s, without 
locality, and my own is probably a cultivated one, having been obtained 
by Mr. Reeves from Villet, the Cape nurseryman.
