About Coleus cremnus (B.J.Conn) A.J.Paton
Coleus cremnus, also known by the synonym Plectranthus cremnus, is a rare herb. It is only found at a small number of sites on the north coast of New South Wales. This species grows in shallow sandy soils on rocky coastal headlands, including Evans Head, Lennox Head and Sawtell. Its foliage is hairy and carries a pleasant scent similar to that of geraniums. The flowers are blue with purple tints, and they can appear at any time of year. The plant typically has a low, creeping growth form, from which a small number of erect flowering branchlets grow.
