South Africa (Western Cape). From Bruyns book ms: found in the winter-rainfall region of western South Africa and the south-western corner of Namibia. It occurs in the coastal areas only. Here it is widespread in Namaqualand, from just north of Alexander Bay (in Namibia) to the mouth of the Olifants River, southwards to the Cape Peninsula and on the surrounding sands of the Cape Flats. Eastwards from Cape Town it is rather sporadically recorded to Still Bay and Mossel Bay and there is a single record from the Worcester-Robertson Karoo.
