Closely related to S. sessilifolia from which it is distinguished by the petiolate leaves and usually 4-6-flowered verticils, while the tomentum on stems and leaves is less densely woolly. In S. reticulata from the eastern Transvaal, which resembles S. malacophylla superficially, the stem pubescence is strongly retrorse, the leaves tend to be discolorous and noticeably reticulate below, while the calyx teeth are distinctly spreading.
