Indigofera is a large genus of over 750 species of flowering plants belonging to the family Fabaceae. They are widely distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Species of Indigofera are mostly shrubs, though some are small trees or annual or perennial herbs. Most have pinnate leaves. Racemes of flowers grow in the leaf axils. Most species have flowers in shades of red, but there are a few white- and yellow-flowered species. The fruit is a legume pod of varying size and shape.
Indigofera superba is a South African endemic species from the Western Cape Province where it can be found growing in montane fynbos on the lower slopes of the Kleinrivier Mountains at altitudes of 100 to 400 meters. Indigofera superba is a relatively rare species as it only grows in a very restricted area. It grows into a willowy grey hairy shrub of up to 3 meter tall. It has pinnate leaves with roundish leaflets and during summer it bears dense racemes of pink flowers.
