Coleus fredericii, synonym Plectranthus welwitschii, is a species of plant in the family Lamiaceae.[1] The epithet is also spelt frederici.[2]
The species was originally described by John Isaac Briquet in 1894, as Neomuellera welwitschii.[2] It was transferred to the genus Plectranthus by Leslie Codd in 1972. A 2018 phylogenetic study showed that Plectranthus, as then circumscribed was not monophyletic, and so revived the then defunct genus Coleus. Since the name Coleus welwitschii had already been used for a different species, Taylor's name Coleus fredericii was used instead.[1]
