About

Passerina is a genus in the plant family Thymelaeaceae, native to southern Africa. They are ericoid bushes growing largely in fynbos and other Southern African scrub habitats.

Where it grows

The genus is endemic to Southern Africa, most species within South Africa, though some extend north of the border. The greatest concentration of species is in Cape fynbos, where some species are endemic to very small regions. Passerina ericoides for example occurs naturally only on the Cape Peninsula and the vicinity of False Bay
