Names
Plectranthus hadiensis [family LAMIACEAE]
Information
Perennial semi-succulent herb; stems erect to decumbent, 0,5 — 1,5 m tall, sparsely to densely tomentose. Leaves petiolate; blade medium- to thick-textured, ovate to subrotund, (35-)40-105 x (25-)30-100 mm, sparingly strigose to densely woolly-tomentose, gland-dotted, apex acute to rounded, base cuneate to subcordate, margin shallowly to fairly distinctly crenate-dentate; petiole 10—40 mm long. InfloreÂscence terminal, simple or with 1 — 2 pairs of branches near the base, racemes 80—500 mm long; bracts usually early deciduous but sometimes persisting to the flowering stage (in var. tomentosus); flowers in sessile 4—15-flowered cymes, forming 8 — 25-flowered verticils; verticils 10—30 mm apart; pedicels 2—4 mm long. Calyx 5 mm long in fruit, glandular-scabrid, shape as in P. dinteri (no. 16). Corolla usually shades of mauve to purple, rarely white, 7—13 mm long, finely pubescent and gland-dotted on the lips; tube expanding gradually from the base and bent about the middle; lower lip boat-shaped, 4—7 mm long. Stamens free to the base, 5 — 8 mm long.
Habitat
A good deal of variation is included in the concept and 3 varieties are recognized in Southern Africa.
Use
18. Plectranthus hadiensis (Forssk.) Schweinf. ex Sprenger, Wein. III. Gart. Zeitung 19: 2 (1894); C. Christensen in Dansk. bot. Ark. 4: 21 (1922); Wood in Kew Bull. 37: 599 (1983). Type: Yemen, Hadiyah, Forsskal (C, holo.!). Wood, I.e., has shown that this specimen, previously considered to be the type of Ocimum zatarhendi Forssk., does not agree with the description of that species, but agrees in every respect with the description of O. hadiense Forssk. There is circumstantial evidence that at some time early in the nineteenth century the specimen was wrongly annotated.
Range
According to the present concept, the species is found from the Transkei, through Natal, Swaziland, Transvaal and tropical east Africa to Somalia and the southern Arabian Peninsula, occurring at forest margins in dry woodland and among rocks in grassland.
