Schlechter, 4280. — This seems very distinct in the genus. The slender 
peduncle, spreading stiffly at a right angle and articulate near the apex, 
resembles that of L. genuflexa Benth., but in every other respect the two 
species are quite different. The narrow vexillum and the very slender 
habit of the plant make its position in the $ Krebsia somewhat doubtful.

the aspect of those of L. zwaziensis Bolus, and L. multiflora Schinz, but 
the ealyx segments are different.

L. lenticula, from which it looks very different on account of its long
