    Nemesia denticulata

    Nemesia denticulata, commonly the blue nemesia, sometimes the tooth lionface and in Afrikaans the maagpynblommetjie (little stomach ache flower), a name shared with few other nemesias, is a tufted perennial growing annual stems from a woody rootstock to heights from 30 cm to 60 cm.

    The species distribution is in the Eastern Cape from the Baviaanskloof to KwaZulu-Natal and southern Mpumalanga. It also grows in at least Swaziland, Lesotho and Mozambique.

    The habitat is open woodland, the edges of thicket and stony grassland, from the coast to elevations around 1100 m. The habitat population is deemed of least concern early in the twenty first century (Euston-Brown and Kruger, 2023; Manning, 2009; Pooley, 1998; iNaturalist; http://redlist.sanbi.org).
