Diagnostic description

Differs from S. natalensis in the densely glandular stems and leaves; in S. natalensis the stems and leaves are hispid-villous and the undersides of the leaves often bear short gland-tipped hairs. S. aethiopica often has densely glandular stems and leaves but the leaves are usually smaller and broadly ovate, while the verticils (in Natal specimens) are normally 4-6-flowered, not 2-flowered as in S. rudatisii.
