Tinnea Aethiopica

Family: Lamiaceae

Shrub, 0.8m –5 m tall. Scented corolla dark reddish brown or blackish purple.
Forest underplant.
Traditionally timber is used to burn for aromatic smell, and for spear handles.

Available from Kivukoni Indigenous Tree Nursery.

I do not have permission to use any Kenya photographs of Tinnea aethiopica. The Tinnea rhodesiana from Zambia looks similar, images hopefully to be replaced with the real thing.
