Diagnostic description

The species is characterized by the very small ovate leaves which are usually subglabrous to sparingly pubescent. Two gatherings from Mt Insizwa, Schlechter 6467 and Hilliard & Bunt 6568, are included with some hesitation as they are more markedly pubescent with somewhat narrower, subsessile leaves. These resemble S. humifusa but the calyx teeth are shorter and broader and the pubescence shorter than in that species. From: Codd, LEW. 1985. Lamiaceae: 13. Stachys. In: OA Leistner (ed.). Fl. S.
