In the above specimen the leaves are much smaller and more coriaceous 
than the type. Dr. Stapf kindly allowed me to dissect a flower from the 
latter, which on comparison agreed in every detail with mine. There is a 
specimen of Horne’s (924 Herb. Kew. indet.) which forms an interesting 
intermediate.
