Lobostemon glaucophyllus
Also called Smooth Leaved Bush Bugloss
Lobostemon glaucophyllus, the smooth-leaved bush bugloss or grey healthbush, is a South African plant species belonging to the forget-me-not family. It is endemic to South Africa's Cape Provinces.
While it is endemic to South Africa, this species is relatively widely distributed, occurring from Spektakelberg near Springbok in the north to Kleinmond in the south. There is also an isolated population in the Gamka Mountain Reserve. It frequently occurs on granitic soils in the southern parts of its range, where leaves tend to be larger. It also occurs in the more limey soils of the sand plain fynbos, the sandstone soils of the mountain fynbos and the sandy soils of the western coastal plains.
