[edit] Existence
I had a good look, but wasn't able to find much evidence at all that this plant exists, not even as a cryptid. Most of the information about it is in German, ad what little there is apears to originate from the same source material (similar word usage etc).
The article is here, and I'm not going to post it for deletion, but I would question whether it is notable enough to have its own page, and whether any information about it can pass WP:R

- According to a translated version of one of the German pages [1], the Umdhlebi was originally described in a November 2, 1882 issue of Nature. I think that's a start. Zagalejo 14:55, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I read it, but I found almost notihn about it in English, and I would like a secondary source to confirm it as that page doesn't really count as WP:RS.
