Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Marius Burger
Comment:   Eastern Cape is not part of this species' original distribution range. In recent years it has established populations at several localities in EC, as far south as Port Elizabeth. This usually happens through inadvertant introductions.
