SPENCER MOORE : САМОРЕТАТ Ж. 255 
Known from its congeners, among other features, by the very short and 
densely hairy corollas. The affinity is with Pentas herbacea, Hiern, from 
Golungo Alto. 
Var. LONGISTYLA. Corolle paullo breviores (5 cm. long.) necnon extus 
paullulum minus pubescentes. Antheræ subsessiles, inclusæ. Stylus 
exsertus, cum stigmate 0:6 em. long. 
Hab. Ruwenzori E. 7000 ft. January. 
Apparently a long-styled form of the species.

Known by the elliptical pilose-puberulous leaves, the long stout axillary 
peduncles, the calyces with relatively long glabrous limb and lobes 
leaving a distinct rim behind them upon their detachment, which appears 
to happen immediately after opening of the flower, and the long pube- 
rulous styles with narrowly fusiform stigma.
