This member of the
Lamiaceae family was given this name by Leslie Edward Wastell
Codd in 1961. It is found in north-eastern
South Africa, growing in a well drained soil with some water and
lots of sun. The plant will raise for up to one meter. The flowers
are purple to pink.The genera
name after George Thorncroft, 1857 – 1934, an English who was
interested in flowers. The species after its succulent appearance -
for that genera.
After having
seen the plant my selves, I lean to the conclusion; it is not a
caudiciform, although it have slightly swollen roots. |
