Diagnostic description

Has been confused with other species with procumbent stems and 2-flowered verticils, such as S. rudatisii, S. rehmannii and S. natalensis, but differs in the discolorous leaves with white cobwebby tomentum and minute yellowish gland-dots on the under-surfaces. In addition, S. rehmannii is distinguished by the dense stellate tomentum on all parts of the plant, while the verticils are often 4-6-flowered. From: Codd, LEW. 1985. Lamiaceae: 13. Stachys.
