This member of the Lamiaceae family was
given this name by Leslie Edward Wastell Codd in 1983. It is found in
southern Africa, growing along rivers in a well
drained soil with some water and some sun. The slightly swollen stem
can grow to ten centimetres in diameter, the dense bush can grow to
two or even five metres in height. The flowers are from white over
pink to pale violet.
The genera name means 'four glands', and
the species name; 'growing along rivers'.
