since writing the report above I have found these plants growing in the wild in 2016 in the north of KwaZulu-Natal province just outside of the Tembe Elephant Park. The specimens that I found during a plant rescue operation were growing in sparse open grassland in very sandy soils mostly in full sun others in the partial shade of small shrubs.
