Thamnea depressa is a perennial, flowering shrub that is part of the Bruniaceae family.[1] The plant is endemic to the Western Cape and was part of the fynbos. It occurred at Genadendal. It is considered extinct; where the plant was found in 1815 by William John Burchell, it has now been converted into plantations and is also infested with invasive plants.[2]
