* Erect herb with yellow flowers." 
Our “specimens show slight differences from the type as 
deseribed and figured, the leaves being larger (reaching 
35 em. long by 11 mm. broad) and less generally oblong. 
The bracts also are narrower and the flowers a little 
smaller. But without seeing a specimen of L. affinis, I 
do not feel justified in separating the Uganda plant.
