Phaulopsis imbricata is a shrub native to South Africa.[2] It is also known as Himalayan ruellia. Leaves are opposite, one larger than the other in each pair, usually asymmetrical at the base.[3] Phaulopsis imbricata is a good fodder, the young leaves are eaten as a vegetable and the plant-ash in oil is rubbed into scarifications on the back for rheumatism in Tanganyika.[4] The flowers have an unpleasant smell.[5] It is filed as near-threatened by the IUCN.[1] It is one of the larval host plants of the butterflies great eggfly, tiny grass blue, brown pansy, soldier pansy and marbled elf.
