Leonotis leonurus
Bush with lanceolate leaves and stalks with several groups of orange, tube flowers. "The shrub grows 3 to 6 ft (1 to 2 m) tall by 1.5 to 3.5 feet (0.46 to 1.1 m) wide. The medium-dark green 2–4 inches (5.1–10 cm) long leaves are aromatic when crushed. The plant has tubular orange flowers in tiered whorls, typical to the mint family, that encircle the square stems. They rise above the foliage mass during the summer season, with flowering continuing into winter in warmer climates." - Wikipedia
