This member of the Fabaceae family was given this name by Skeels in 1909. It is found in the southern part of Africa, growing in a well-drained soil with lots of water in summer and some sun. The rhizome is said to be more then eight meters long. I found mine in Juelsminde 2003.

Seen as Mimosaceae and of cause as Leguminosae.
