Descriptions

M. Thulin et al. Flora of Somalia, Vol. 1-4 [updated 2008] https://plants.jstor.org/collection/FLOS

Distribution
S1, 3; widespread in tropical and southern Africa, also in Asia.
Ecology
Altitude range 65–200 m.
Note
Var. papillosa has been recognised on the basis of its papillose or shortly hairy calyx-tube, but this distinction does not seem meaningful. For example, in the collection Gillett & al. 25137 (K) there are two otherwise identical individuals, one with a papillose and one with a glabrous calyx.
