* Ibicella
The three species are indigenous to warm regions of South
America and one, Ibicella lutea, has been introduced to southern
Africa where it has become a garden escapee and a weed of cultivation.

* Proboscidea
The nine species are indigenous to warm regions of South
America. Proboscidea fragrans originates from Mexico and besides
being an ornamental garden species, it is also cultivated for its fruit. In
southern Africa it occurs as a garden escapee and is thought to have become
