A singular species, unlike any other known to us. Bentham places it in this 
section with doubt, and suggests Dasyanthes, in which, however, we cannot 
concur. It seems to be confined to the Cape Peninsula. No recent collector has 
found it elsewhere, and Salisbury’s citation of “‘ Hottentots Holland” is probably 
quite erroneous in this as in many other instances.
