Peter, I believe you are not alone. But seriously, is this species still in cultivation?

Only on left in cultivation, in a continental botanic garden, as far as I know . Plus one of the rarest and most protected species, so not likely to be available !

good luck with that one............

Looks like another poor form of Hederifolium

Or as they say round here how do you tell the difference between Hederifolium and Africanium - just leave both pots out over winter :)

For those on Facebook, here's a recent photo of the one in cultivation. I'm not sure they've ever had successful seed set from the plants that were collected?
