Teucrium albicaule, scurfy germander, is a low, hoary perennial herb from arid inland Australia that spreads by root suckers into dense patches. It is a wild desert species, not a common garden plant, so care is based on its native dry habitat.
Teucrium albicaule, commonly known as scurfy germander, is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, and is endemic to inland areas of Australia. It is a hoary, perennial herb that spreads by root suckers, forming dense stands. The leaves are trifoliate and the white flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils.
Scurfy germander grows in depressions in woodland and shrubland and occurs in arid areas of north-eastern South Australia, south-eastern Northern Territory, north-western Victoria and New South Wales, south and west of Bancannia Lake.
