Comment:   I would treat this record with great suspicion. I do not think the record is valid as the co-ordinates attached to the record indicate a site in the Swazi lowveld. The species is restricted to the Swazi highveld. I recommend this record be discarded. There is no supportive evidence either - no specimen and no photograph.
