Forest Veronia

Gymnanthemum myrianthum (Hook. fil.) H. Robinson

Description

provided by Flora of Zimbabwe
Large shrub or even small, soft wooded tree. Although it can be a "messy" shrub, I (BW) find it quite beautiful when in flower because the large inflorescences turn the whole shrub into a ball of colour varying from white to deep purple.
