Distribution map

It comes from two known localities between Albertinia and Mossel Bay. It has a very strong link with H. esterhuizenii (H. magnifica var. splendens sensu MBB) from E. Albertinia, which has more conspicuous surface tubercles.

H. pygmaea var. argenteo-maculosa remains usually solitary and propagation should be done by seed.
