Cyclopia latifolia, the Table Mountain honeybush tea, is a shrub belonging to the genus Cyclopia.[1] The species is endemic to the Western Cape and occurs in the Cape Peninsula on Constantiaberg and Table Mountain at altitudes of 900-1000 m. The population consists of only 23 plants and is threatened by a lack of fire control. The plant is part of the fynbos and is considered rare.[2]
