This species occurs also in Extratropical South Africa, having been found in the year 
1812 in the southern part of the Kalahari region by Burchell as under, at Magalisberg 
in the Transvaal by Burke and Zeyher in the year 1841, and in Zululand by Miss 
Owen. 
Burchell, no. 2526, on the road from Little Klibbolikhonni and the (Great) Kosi 
Fountain, on the morning of December 20, 1812; here Burchell also collected Panicum 
gossypinum, A. Rich., given in the enumeration below, page 29. 
Burchell, no. 2635,; at the (Kora) Klip Fontein, December 29 and 30, 1812; caules 
hispidi fruticosi erecti, folia pinnata 5-juga, racemi fructiferi longissimi axillares (Burch. 
MS.) On this number of Burchell DeCandolle founded the species. 
In our specimens, which are rigidly herbaceous rather than shrubby, the leaflets vary 
from 7 to 11 (rarely 6) in number; the calyx measures about 1 inch, and the mem- 
branous nearly glabrous corolla measures about 1 inch in length.
