Distribution map

The differences between the two species are following: H. coarctata has tubercles smaller and more smoothly rounded, whereas in H.reinwardtii they are frequently large and tend to be flattened and whiter. The forms of H. reinwardtii are often more striking because of the larger white tubercles.

Under H. reinwardtii are described forms olivacea, zebrina, kaffirdriftensis and chalumnensis. All of them grow in one locality near Kaffirdrift.H. reinwardtii is proliferous species forming clumps in nature. In cultivation it needs more sunny position to show its beauty. It is an easy species to grow.
