Genus of flowering plants
Crabbea is a genus of flowering plants native to eastern and southern Africa. They are generally low-growing perennial herbs. The five-petaled flowers are surrounded by prickly bracts.
The small leaves of some species of "Crabbea" are used as part of a Xhosa food called imifino (boiled leaf vegetables), or as a condiment or relish to accompany grains. A Xhosa common name for these plants is "krakrisa".
As of 2020, there are 13 accepted species in the genus:
