The above description rests principally upon specimens of 

 Drege's and Colonel Bolton's, the latter (in the Dublin Uni- 

 versity Herbarium) gathered near Grahamstown. It appears to

 the form of the lobes of the bifid or emarginate apex of the upper 

 lip of the corolla, and in the proportional length of the spur.

This may turn out to be a distinct species. The upper lip of 

 the corolla may be either bifid with entire lobes or with the small 

 lobes again emarginate.
