Abstract

Four new Plectranthus taxa from South Africa are described: P. malvinus Van Jaarsv. & TJ.Edwards, P. saccatus subsp. pondoensis Van Jaarsv. & S.Milstein,  P. purpuratus subsp. tongaensis Van Jaarsv. & TJ.Edwards and  P. purpuratus subsp. montanus Van Jaarsv. & TJ.Edwards.  P. aliciae (Codd) Van Jaarsv. & TJ.Edwards and  P. lucidus (Benth.) Van Jaarsv. & TJ.Edwards are given new status, and P. pentheri (Giirke) Van Jaarsv. & TJ.Edwards is transferred to this genus from Coleus and recognized as a species.
