Distribution map of H. floribunda var. major

I have observed plants directly at Swellendam under the gum trees, they grow in open just amongs the dead leaves and other things with no protection by stones or grass.

Hayashi and Breuer use a name H. kondoi  for this species (because of not using variets in their classifications).
