Its native range is Tanzania to s. Africa and Madagascar. It is also found in the Cape Provinces, KwaZulu-Natal, the Northern Provinces (regions of South Africa), Malawi, Mozambique, Eswatini and Zimbabwe.[1]
The genus name of Neocussonia is in honour of Pierre Cusson (1727–1783), a French botanist who specialised in Umbelliferae,[2] and it was first described and published in Gen. Fl. Pl. Vol.2 on page 79 in 1967.[1]
