This is a shrub, 3—4 feet high, with leaves veined and rugose resembling those of Red Dagga, only much smaller, having an extremely strong and peculiar odour. The flowers are small, cream-coloured, forming a head. Corolla tubular with a spreading limb, 2-labiate, lower lip 3-fid, stamens 4, two longer.
A decoction of the leaves, mixed with a decoction of wormwood, is used in colds—perhaps rather in a sort of low feverish inflammation in the lungs, common among the natives. In-zinziniba is also made use of to prevent inflammation in fever, influenza, and measles. This shrub is found in profuse quantities around King William's Town.
