Penaea sarcocolla is a species of shrub in the genus Penaea. It is endemic to the Western Cape,[1] along the coast up to Cape Agulhas and extending inland to Franschhoek, Hottentots Holland Mountains, Villiersdorp and Genadendal.[3] It is also known as the Cape fellwort.[3]
It takes its name from a supposed resemblance to sarcocolla, the Asian source of Persian gum.
