Distribution map |
Its distribution area is quite large and it is much more common than the var. heidelbergensis. It grows from Drew area in the North up to the Potberg area in the South. In Drew area, it co-occurs (and integrates) with maraisii, it is not easy to distinguish sometimes what is what. H. heidelbergensis var. scabra should have more light green erect leaves with more translucent end areas and very often it forms larger clusters. At Bonnievale area it integrate with meiringii, see some photos in meiringii article. At Potberg area at Lower Breede River is growing strange form of maraisii-heidelbergensis var. scabra-floribunda. It was described by Hayashi as henda. (See some photos of it at maraisii article).
H. heidelbergensis var. scabra is more easy to grow and soon it forms offsetts.
