Habitat
Its affinity with K. splendida (No. 21) is dis­cussed above. It is considered that the following species, K. praecox, is probably derived from the hybridization of K. bruceae with a species such as K. uvaria (No. 44) or K. linearifolia (No. 46) in the early 1800s. Its presence in Europe at this early stage is evidenced by the illustration in Jacquin's Fragmenta t. 4 (1800 or 1801).
