Sutera aethiopica is characterized by its minutely glandular-puberulous stems often with long (up to 1 mm) scattered almost hispid hairs as well, by its leaves, the largest ones narrowly to broadly wedge-shaped with mostly 1-2, or occasionally 3, pairs of coarse teeth in the upper half (teeth often obscured by the revolute margins), the blade either glabrous or with scattered almost hispid hairs up to 1 mm long, but sometimes represented by no more than tiny projections, and by its few-flowered terminal racemes, the calyx with prominent ± hispid hairs as well as minute glandular ones. The corolla tube is long (c. 10-20 mm), the anticous filaments short (1.7-2.5 mm). From: Hilliard, OM. 1994. The Manuleae: a tribe of Scrophulariaceae. Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh.
