Hairy annual to 30 cm. Leaves mostly basal, ovate-elliptic, toothed. Flowers in small heads elongating into racemes on naked scapes, white or cream-coloured. From: Manning, JC; Goldblatt, P. 2012. Scrophulariaceae: Phyllopodium Benth. In: J Manning & P Goldblatt (eds), Plants of the Greater Cape Floristic Region 1: The Core Cape flora. Strelitzia 29: 750-752.

Phyllopodium cordatum typically has a few pairs of ovate petiolate leaves confined to the lower part of the stem, the upper part running out into a long nude scape bearing the terminal inflorescence. Sometimes the leaves tend to be more elliptic than ovate, and sometimes they may be more numerous and run up the scape, diminishing rapidly in size. The leaves and bracts are pubescent on both surfaces and this, together with the pale flowers devoid of colour patterning as well as the creamy-coloured seeds, will distinguish the species from P. heterophyllum (see also under that species). Phyllopodium cordatum is easily confused with P. mimetes, which also has the leaves crowded near the base of the plant and solitary heads on long peduncles; discriminating characters are given under P. mimetes (below).

Phyllopodium cordatum ranges from the neighbourhood of Van Rhynsdorp south to the Peninsula and east to about Albertinia, and inland as far as the Cedarberg and the Hex River valley; this is also the distributional range of its ally, P. heterophyllum. It is adventive in W Australia (Cunderdin, Whisson 1 and 2 (K) and Northam, Peirce s.n., K). From: Hilliard, OM. 1994. The Manuleae: a tribe of Scrophulariaceae.
