Known from a single collection in eastern Angola and one in NW Zambia. The Angolan population consisted of several scattered individuals on a broad open sandy plain just above the water table. Both the Angolan and the Zambian localities are on Kalahari sand deposits, and the Angolan collection was associated with common geoxylic suffrutices of the region such as

is known from two localities some 350 km apart, but is inconspicuous and easily overlooked and is likely to be more common than the herbarium records suggest. Both localities are in nutrient-deficient sandy environments unsuitable for agriculture, and with little threat of habitat transformation as human settlements are few and far between. The new species is therefore provisionally assessed as Data Deficient.
