The relation of this species seems to be with Plectranthus 
amethystordes, Benth. ; but it is a much larger plant in all parts, 
and much more hairy. It is also similar to P. Forrestii, Diels, 
but the calyx is smaller, with longer and more acute teeth, the 
corolla considerably smaller.

In habit this is similar to Orthostphon scapigerum, Benth., 
but the leaves are narrower, with shorter teeth, the corolla longer 
and more hairy, the upper lip more obtuse. An allied form was 
collected by Ducloux (No. 939).
