Description:
Notes:	This species is listed as naturalised in Zimbabwe by Mapaura & Timberlake in SABONET 33: 24 (2004). However, only two old specimens are present at SRGH (1931) and both appear to be from the Salisbury Experimental Station, which would likely indicate they were cultivated there. We therefore only list this species as a cultivated taxon in Zimbabwe.
