Moschosma (from the musk-like odor). Labiatae. In recent years there has come into prominence in European gardens a showy-flowered small shrub or tall herb from tropical and southern Africa under the name Moschosma riparium, but which N. E. Brown now refers to Iboza. The plants belonging to Iboza, Brown writes, "have hitherto been referred to Moschosma, but they differ entirely from that genus in habit, calyx and corolla, and in having unisexual flowers, with the sexes on different plants. The small size and form of the corolla and the arrangement and spread of the stamens is somewhat like that of Mentha," next which he considers this genus should be placed. Iboza (Kafir name of I. riparia) has more than a dozen species in S. and Trop. Afr.: fls. very small, dioecious, the males larger and bearing an abortive ovary or style; calyx minute, 3-lobed; corolla very small, with funnelform tube and more or less unequally 4-5-lobed limb; stamens in male fl. 4, free and separate; ovary 4-lobed: nutlets erect, oblong or ovoid, dorsally compressed.
