LoBELIA ($ Hemipogon) ЈссохА, S. Moore, sp. nov.

radicalibus vel subradicalibus obovatis-oblongis obtusis basi in petiolum 
cuneatim angustatis margine dentatis basin versus integris presertim in 
nervis puberulis foliis caulinis distantibus sessilibus lineari-oblongis margine 
dentieulatis, racemis elongatis distanter paucifloris gracilibus glabris, bracteis 
anguste linearibus quam pedicelli teneri multo brevioribus, ovario ovoideo 
6-nervoso glabro, calycis segmentis subulatis acutis glabris ovario sequi-

lobis anticis obovatis obtusissimis posticis oblongis sequilongis. 
Hab. Hills between the Lusitu and Nyahodi Rivers at 5000 ft.; in fl. 
Sept. ; n. 2037. 
Folia radicalia +13 mm. long., 5—6 mm. lat. ; petioli circa 5 mm. long. ; 
caulina circa 10x 1:5 mm, juniora imminuta. Racemi +10 em. long. 
Bractee +3 mm. long. Pedicelli tandem 15 mm. long. vel ultra. Flores 
cærulei. Ovarium 2 mm., calycis segmenta 2 mm. long. Corolle pars 
tubularis 4 mm. long. ; limbus 3 mm. long., hujus lobi antici 2 x 1:75 mm., 
postici 2 x fere 1 mm. Tubus stamineus vix 3 mm. long. ; antherz longiores 
dorso puberule, 1°75 mm. long., breviores apice dense barbatze 1:5 mm. 
Capsula adhue cruda cylindriea, 6 mm. long., 2*5 mm. lat. 
To be compared with L. benguellensis, Hiern, and L. rosulata, 8. Moore, 
which also have a rosette of radical leaves, but are both somewhat different 
in foliage and flower. 
N. 6085 from Mount Pene appears referable to this species. It is a small 
specimen with but three flowers at the top of the slender single stem. Also 
n. 6080 may perhaps be a taller more matured state from which the radical 
leaves have fallen.
