Once known as Fockea tugelensis, this species is from the Kwa-Zulu Natal and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa. The thick, rounded caudex, which bears vines with spathulate leaves, is dull gray and is covered with thin bark that peels in vertical cracks. The leaves are glossy green on top with a prominent violet vein on the bottom. We offer seedlings of this species in one-gallon pots.
