Agathosma is a genus of about 140 species of flowering plants in the family Rutaceae, indigenous to the southern part of Africa. Common names include Buchu, Boegoe, Bucco, Bookoo and Diosma. Buchu formally denotes two herbal species, prized for their fragrance and medicinal use. They are small shrubs and subshrubs, mostly with erect woody stems reaching 30–100 cm tall, but low-growing and prostrate in some species. Many of the species are highly aromatic, and the genus name means "good fragrance". Some species of the genus, most notably Agathosma betulina are used as herbal remedies. The mildly aromatic Agathosma collina is a hardy shrublet suitable for strandveld or coastal areas where it will cheer up the garden with its bright yellow-green leaves. Agathosma collina is a dense dwarf shrub that grows to a height of 0.3–1 m and has a width of 1 m. The oval leaves, which are between 3. 5 and 5 mm long, are tipped with a rigid hair.
