In leaf intermediate between H. Gulielmi, Engl., and И. Lentu, Volk. & О. 
Hoffm. It differs from both in the racemiform inflorescence and the 
shorter, more spheroidal heads with shorter and relatively broader 
involueral leaves. The three, when more specimens are forthcoming, 
may perhaps be considered forms of a single polymorphic species.

insigniter breviora necnon latiora, зе. cirea 2:5 x 0°6—0°7 em. 
E. 14,800 feet. 
Though at first sight very different in foliage and decidedly more woolly, 
apparently a high-level variety and not a distinct species. 
Distrib. So far the species is known only from Ruwenzori and 
Kilimanjaro.
