Selago dolosa

Selago dolosa is a species of plant in the family Scrophulariaceae. It is endemic to South Africa.

Description

A perennial, woody, loosely-branching shrublet. One of a group of southern African Selago species that have fascicled leaves, pubescent stems, and an inflorescence that is a corymbose panicle.
Selago dolosa is frequently confused with the related species Selago corymbosa, but can be distinguished by the following characters:

The leaves of S. dolosa are broader, shorter, and less hairy. The S. dolosa leaves also lack a raised midrib blow, and margins that recurve when dry.
The bracts of S. dolosa are also broader.

Distribution

Selago dolosa is mainly confined to the southern Cape regions of South Africa, where it occurs from near Caledon in the west, to the East London and Butterworth regions in the east.
