Insufficient toxicity evidence; avoid direct contact and ingestion.
Saltera sarcocolla (basionym Penaea sarcocolla) is a species of shrub, commonly known as Cape fellwort. This species is endemic to the Western Cape of South Africa, where its distribution ranges along the coast up to Cape Agulhas, and extends inland to Franschhoek, the Hottentots Holland Mountains, Villiersdorp, and Genadendal. Its specific epithet sarcocolla comes from its supposed resemblance to sarcocolla, the Asian source of Persian gum.
