Acrotome pallescens
Acrotome pallescens is a little-studied species of the mint family (Lamiaceae) from dry shrubland in southern Africa. It is rarely cultivated, so growing it means treating it like other drought-tolerant southern African Lamiaceae in a sunny, well-drained spot.
Acrotome pallescens is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae. It is native to Namibia and the Cape Provinces of South Africa. The name was first published in 1848.
