About

Thorncroftia succulenta is a species of Thorncroftia commonly known as the Soutpansberg whistlesweet. It is endemic to South Africa′s Limpopo province, with localities spanning much of the Soutpansberg mountains. Some materials give a considerably larger distribution, reaching as far south as Barberton in Mpumalanga, but this is because two other members of the genus, T. lotteri and T. coddii, were previously included in T. succulenta.
