Internodia 2-3 em. long. Folia 6-8 em. long., 4°5-5 em. 
lat.; petioli 1 em. long. Pedicellus 4 mm. long. Bractea 
3 mm. long. Calyculus 3 mm. long. Perianthium 4 em. 
long.; parte inferiore inflato circa 4 mm. long. et lat., 
lobis vix 8 mm. long. Anthere 3 mm. long. 
Very nearly allied to the Angolan species Z. Molleri, Engler, 
which was found by Welwitsch on an island in the River Quanza 
in Pungo Andongo. It differs in the slightly shorter limbs of 
the perianth, and especially in the broader, almost truncately 
based ovate leaves.
