As with so many plants of Eastern South Africa, it has a 
very wide range of distribution, from the hilly districts of 
Natal, the Transvaal and Orange Free State, to lat. 28°S., 
ascending to 4000 ft., on the Winterhock Mts., near 
Uitenhage, in nearly 34° S. lat. The variety represented 
is a very elegant one from the graceful habit and the 
disposition of the revolute decurved silky leaves ; it was 
sent in 1889, for figuring by Mr. Lynch, A.L.S., from the 
Cambridge Botanic Gardens, where it flowered in a 
greenhouse in the month of September, 1889.—J. D. H.
