Taxonomy

The type locality given by Thunberg in 1818 was later determined to be erroneous. The confusion between Cape and Java is not very unlikely, since these two ports on the East India route are the two main places where Thunberg collected on his trip abroad, staying in Cape for three years 1772–1775 and in Batavia for one month in 1775.
