Glumicalyx goseloides
Gooseneck Drumsticks (Glumicalyx goseloides), also called the nodding chocolate flower, is a small clumping perennial subshrub from high-elevation South Africa, with chocolate-scented flowers. It is rarely sold, so it is mainly a plant for specialist collectors in mild climates.
Glumicalyx goseloides, the nodding chocolate flower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Scrophulariaceae, native to high-elevation areas of South Africa. A clumping perennial reaching 15 in (38 cm), and possibly hardy in USDA zones 6 through 9, its flowers give off a chocolate scent. It is not readily available in commerce.
