Yep. In cultivation and the wild. Its close relative U.pusilla
has much more however. And I think U.nigrescens, U. flaccida, U.triloba,
U.trichophylla have it too occasionally...

Best Wishes,

Sao Paulo, Brazil,

P.S. Sorry to all I owe mails to. I've been travelling a lot due to work.
I'll hopefully answer you all this week.

P.P.S. Tell you all soon about some CPs I saw this weekend in the coldest
highlands of Brazil....
