Lobostemon daltonii
Infanta healthbush is a small, leathery-leaved shrublet from the borage family, native to a few limestone flats near Cape Infanta in South Africa's Western Cape. It is a wild species with little horticultural history, so care is best matched to its native fynbos conditions.
Lobostemon daltonii, the Infanta healthbush, is a species of the forget-me-not family endemic to the Cape Provinces of South Africa.
This species is found between Potberg (De Hoop) and Cape Infanta, where it grows on limestone flats. It is known from only four sites. It seems to prefer the loamy soils in the transition zone between Mountain Fynbos and South and South-west Coast Renosterveld.
