Its native range is Sahara desert in northern Africa. It is found in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia.[1]
The genus name of Randonia is in honour of Jacques Louis Randon (1795–1871), a French military and political leader, also Marshal of France and governor of Algeria.[2] The Latin specific epithet of africana means coming from Africa. The genus and the species were first described and published in Bull. Soc. Bot. France Vol.6 on pages 391-392 in 1859.[1]
