Stapfiella zambesiensis is a shrub native to Zambia, Africa.[1] It is found east of Kasama.[2]

S. zambesiensis grows up to 2 meters tall, yellow antrorse hairs on pubescent leaves, white homostylous raceme flowers, and "yellowish-brown" seeds.[3][4]

Varieties

Currently, there are two accepted varrities of S. zambesiensis; var. grandifolia and var. zambesiensis.[1] Variety grandifolia may be an ecological form; it is found in the margins of swamp forests.[5]

As of 1994, both varieties are classified as least concerned.[6]
