Asparagus densiflorus, is a plant native to southern Africa from Mozambique to South Africa.[1] A. densiflorus has been confused with A. aethiopicus, Sprenger's Asparagus, now regarded as a separate species,[2][3] so that information under the name A. densiflorus will often refer to A. aethiopicus.
