This has much the look of the South African Plectronia spinosa, Klotzsch, 
among other points of difference being the lanceolate leaves, the smaller ovary 
and corolla hairy at the throat. From spinous forms of P. ventosa, Linn., 
which it still more closely resembles, it can be easily told by the fasciculate 
(not corymbose) inflorescences and the smaller flowers with exserted stigma.
