Stachys rehmannii, the Limpopo woundwort, is a species of hedgenettle endemic to South Africa's Limpopo province.
Description
This species is a perennial herb with creeping, branching stems that can grow up to long. The stems are sparsely to densely covered with short, star-shaped hairs.The leaves are borne on short stalks and have fairly thick, broadly ovate blades, long. Both surfaces are densely grey and hairy, with a net-like pattern of veins. The leaves have a rounded to blunt tip, a deeply heart-shaped base, and evenly scalloped margins.
The flowers are arranged in a spike that is loose at the base and denser towards the tip. Most whorls contain two flowers, occasionally up to six. The bracts are leaf-like below and become smaller higher up. The calyx is densely hairy.
The corolla is white to rosy, with a purplish mark in the throat, and has a short tube and two lips, the lower lip longer and held horizontally.
