Saltera sarcocolla
Also called Cape Fellwort, Salter, Saltera
Penaea sarcocolla is a species of shrub in the genus Penaea. It is endemic to the Western Cape, along the coast up to Cape Agulhas and extending inland to Franschhoek, Hottentots Holland Mountains, Villiersdorp and Genadendal. It is also known as the Cape fellwort.
It takes its name from a supposed resemblance to sarcocolla, the Asian source of Persian gum.
