Morphological description

Stems 1-several arising annually from a perennial taproot, erect, herbaceous, 0.1-0.4 m tall, sparingly to densely floccose-tomentose. Leaves sessile; blade rather thick-textured, oblong-linear or somewhat spathulate to elliptic-ovate, 15-60 x 3-17 mm, upper surface thinly to fairly densely stellate-pubescent, under-surface denser and often floccose, apex obtuse to rounded, base obtuse to somewhat narrowed, margin entire or shallowly crenate. Inflorescence of few to several verticils; verticils 2(-4)-flowered; bracts leaf-like, becoming smaller upwards. Calyx densely and finely stellate-tomentose to floccose, 6-8 mm long. Corolla pink to mauve or purple; tube 6 mm long; upper lip 3-4 mm long; lower lip 6-8 mm long. From: Codd, LEW. 1985. Lamiaceae: 13. Stachys. In: OA Leistner (ed.). Fl. S. Africa 28(4): 51-78.

Diagnostic description

A variable species which requires further study. At present the variation does not fall into a clear-cut pattern and so no purpose can be seen in upholding the varieties recognized in Flora Capensis. Its nearest affinity is with S. hyssopoides but it does not form rhizomes and the leaves are more markedly tomentose. From: Codd, LEW. 1985. Lamiaceae: 13. Stachys. In: OA Leistner (ed.). Fl. S. Africa 28(4): 51-78. Botanical Research Institute, Department of Agriculture and Water Supply, Pretoria. [http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/209555#page/9/mode/1up] [CC BY]
