. It is centred in the western Karoo along the Roggeveld Escarpment but occurs northwards to the Bokkeveld Escarpment and southwards through the Cold Bokkeveld to Matroosberg Station. Most recently an isolated colony has been discovered in the Breede River valley near Worcester. This locality is far below the usual elevation at which the species is encountered. The flowers in the Worcester colony are an unusual creamy color but the plants are otherwise typical. The species occurs also on the Kamiesberg in Namaqualand. In a curious coincidence

More recently, however, this disjunct destribution was confirmed when the species was indeed discovered to grow on the Kamiesberg near the village of Leliefontein.
