Blepharis mitrata is a plant species belonging to the Acanthaceae family. It is typically found in dry shrublands and rocky areas in Namibia, particularly in the Khomas Honchland region. However, its habitat is currently under threat due to loss of land. The plant is characterized by its spiny appearance. In traditional medicine, the fruits, seeds, and roots of Blepharis mitrata are believed to have medicinal properties for treating conditions such as hemorrhoids, cough, wounds, and fontanel hardening. However, more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in treating these ailments.
