Habitat: Brachystegia woodlands, streambanks, scrub; in D. R. Congo at alt. ± 1300 m, alt. 800–2150 m elsewhere .

Specimen examined: D. R. CONGO: Haut-Katanga: Kanfundwa , à environ 6.8 km au nord de Kambove, 10°49’S, 26°36’E, talus de la piste en bordure d’un ruisseau affluent de la Mulungwishi, 8 May 1983, Schaijes 1907 GoogleMaps (BR, with colour picture).

Discussion: This variety is distinguished mostly by its long corolla. Only one collection from D.R. Congo is known, originating from a region that has been strongly impacted by mining activities in the last decades; the locality could be destroyed.
