I have already written that before but repetition won't do any harm:
Your "species Magaliesburg" is in all probability either an unusual
form of _D. madagascariensis_ or the probably hybridogenic
D.(?*)collinsiae (both alleged parent species, viz. _D. burkeana_ and
_D. madagascariensis_ are known from Magaliesberg!).

Your plant is certainly *NOT* anything like the S American _D.
arenicola_ which is different in almost every character from the
plant you described.

Kind regards
Jan
