Folia majora 9-10 x 4:5-5 cm., minora 3:5-6 x 2-3 cem., basi хере parum 
obliqua ; costæ supra рапа subtus leviter prominule ; petioli circa 5 mm. 
long., dense pubescentes. Stipule cirea 6 mm. long. Paniculee 3-4 cm. 
long. 3-6 em. diam. Flores virides. Ovarium 15 mm., calycis limbus 
lmm.long. Corolla 7*5 mm. long. ; tubus 3:5 mm. long., 2:5 mm. diam. ; 
lobi 4 mm. long. mox reflexi. Filamenta 1 mm. long., anthers 1*6 mm. 
Stylus ægre 5 mm. long., stigma 0°13 mm. 
A plant of familiar appearance, which I have been unable to match either 
from specimens or descriptions. Small-leaved forms of V. infausta, Burch., 
might be mistaken for it, but the acuminate corolla-lobes of V. Munjiro afford 
an easy means of discriminating between the two. V. Volkensii, К. Schum., 
with much the same foliage has different stipules and larger corollas with a 
glabrous tube and still more acuminate lobes. 
This is the common “ Munjiro ? of the Jihu. There is another specimen 
of it in the British Museum from Victoria, Rhodesia (Monro, 605 A).
