Yes, indeed. It's a new article by Charles Craib in which he refers to the
2010 article by Org Fritz.

In reply to the questions about the images of G. robertsoniae that I
posted
last week I have the following information. They were taken, not in
Gauteng, but near Villiers in the Free State. Org has also seen the
species
in Mpumalanga not far from the border with Gauteng. The reason you may
not have heard of the species or seen it on seedlists is that it is
rare and
on
the Red Data list. Org has manage to raise some plants and has bloomed
them
within three years. You can expect to see an article in Aloe at a
later date. As to when seeds will be available we'll just have to wait and
see.
So, don't hold your breath!
