Distribution

Native to southern Africa. In Australia, recorded for Victoria where it was known from a few historical records in South Yarra, and is now presumed to be extinct in that state (Messina 2014). Cooke (1986: 36) reported it (as Hexaglottis virgata (Jacq.) Sweet) being recorded as a garden escape in Victoria in 1930, but not collected since.
