Struthiola
In habit struthiolas are ericoid shrubs or shrublets. There are forty-odd species, mainly South African, mainly occurring in the Western Cape, about 25 endemic to fynbos. Their leaves are usually opposite, but sometimes alternate. Their flowers are sessile and generally solitary, but sometimes in pairs in the axils of the upper leaves. The fruit is small, dry, included in the persistent base of the calyx-tube.
