Hi there,
This pic looks very much like one of the new hybrids that have been around in South Africa for the past couple of years - they all say 'protected by plantbreeders' rights', which seems like a sin seeing as Plectranthus are so incredibly easy to propagate from cuttings. I got a saccatus at the Kirstenbosch plant sale last weekend, and the leaves look nothing like this. This looks exactly like the new breeds - I've forgotten the name but I think it's Mona something or other... Anyway, any Plectranthus is an absolute delight to grow in Cape Town. After taking cuttings, you can have a flowering plant within a few months. Utterly divine plants and very undemanding!
