This ancient variety is thought to have been developed in South Africa in the 18th century, hence its name. It was introduced into England around 1808 by Marmaduke Dawnay, who cultivated it in Surrey. To this day, however, no one really knows whether it was developed in South Africa or simply in Sicily. Very popular in most of Europe around 1830. It is mentioned in Vilmorin-Andrieux's "Les Plantes Potagères".
