Specimens cited in Flora Zambesiaca for divisions C and S belong in fact to Selago serpentina and it is excluded from Zimbabwe by Hilliard (1999: 261). However, the type specimen for synomym W. chonweensis is said to be from Zimbabwe on the banks of the Zambezi River above Victoria Falls. It is also cited from the Zambian side of the river in Flora zambesiaca 8-2 (Philcox, 1990: 167).
