The berries are used for food in Zululand in times of scarcity ; native names 
“ Uguguvama ” and (?) “ Umpema” (Kew Bulletin, 1898, 53). 
This species, as defined above, is very variable; in thus treating it I have 
followed Hiern and Baker. Jacquin’s type (which I have seen) is finely silky- 
tomentose (or pubescent) on the under surfaces of the leaves which are hardly 
rugose. A Durban specimen (Sanderson, 147) exactly represents this typical 
form which, however, is not confined to Natal. Kuntze distinguishes his var. 
transvalensis by its narrow leaves which are not rugose ; although the material 
examined includes specimens possessing these characters, I cannot regard them as 
constituting a definite variety ; the relative length and breadth and the rugosity of 
the leaves often vary considerably in the same specimen, The plant upon which 
Sonder founded his Lippia caffra (Aapjes River, Zeyher) is very small and 
imperfect ; it is, however, exactly matched by a fruit-bearing specimen from 
Bechuanaland (Burchell, 2325 in Herb. Kew.) which is merely a villous form of 
Lantana salvifolia.
