Stem twining, thinly pilose. Leaves 3-23 in. long, 5-16 lin. broad, 
-ovate-oblong, acuminate or acute, rarely subcordate at the base, sparsely 
pilose, ciliate. | Cymes lateral, lax, few-flowered, as long as the leaves 
or a little longer. Sepals 14 lin. long, linear, lanceolate, subacute, pube- 
rulous. Corolla 12-14 lin, long, subclavate ; tube slightly inflated at the 
base, glabrous outside, thinly pilose with white hairs inside ; lobes short, 
lanceolate-triangular, connate at the apex, reflexed at the margins, 
‘thinly pilose within. Outer coronal-lobes connate at the base into a 
short tube, free part subquadrate, deeply bifid at the apex; segments 
divaricate, falcate-lanceolate, setaceous-acuminate; inner coronal-lobes 
linear, erect, with reflexed tips, much longer than the outer corona. 
Mozamb. Dist. Tropical Transvaal : near Mahilas Kop, 2500 ft., Schlechter, 
4515; near Valdesia, bank of the Limvovo River, 1800 ft., Schlechter, 4543. 
T have not seen this species. From the statement that the cymes are as long as 
the leaves, I have assumed in the key to the species that they are pedunculate.

subcoriaceous, glabrescent or thinly puberulous. Cymes lateral, subumbel- 
late, few-flowered ; peduncle scarcely exceeding the petiole, puberulous ; 
pedicels equalling the peduncle, slender, deflexed after flowering. Sepals 
danceolate or lanceolate-triangular, acute, slightly pilose. Corolla about 
I in. long; tube about 101in. long, globose-inflated and 24 lin. in diam. 
-at the base, slightly dilated at the-mouth ; lobes 2} lin. long, erect, con- 
nate at the apex, linear-oblong, reflexed along the margins, glabrous 
outside, tomentose-villous within. Outer corona cup-shaped, with very 
‘obtuse semi-orbicular lobes, thickened at the margin; inner coronal- 
lobes erect, linear-oblong, obtuse, dilated below the middle, much longer 
than the outer corona. 
Mozamb. Dist. Tropical Transvaal: near Valdesia, on the banks of the

Also in South Africa. I have not seen this species.
