anthers are exactly as in J/. violacea. Granting that a small spur does exist 
occasionally, it would not constitute an additional species.

Leaves up to 53} by 34 in., coarsely toothed or lobed, base cordate ; 
petioles 1-3 in. long. Inflorescence viscid-hairy, loosely compound- 
cymose. Calyx-segments 3-1 in. long, linear-ligulate, not acute. 
Corolla 1} in. long, perhaps violet (S. Moore). Capsule narrowly-oblong- 
ovoid, somewhat widened upwards, 6—8-seeded ; otherwise as I. violacea.

This dried example differs little from those of M/. violacea, but by the more lobed 
strongly cordate leaves. As it comes from a different region and the flowers may 
possibly prove yellow, it is not now united with JZ. violucea. 
6. M. kilimandscharica, Lindaw in Engl. Jahrb. xx. 10. Stem 
3 ft. high (Lindau), scarcely quadrangular. Leaves up to 14 in. long, 
margin crenate. Inflorescence 7 by 14 in., of short densecymes 1-2 in. 
apart. Calyx nearly } in. long, lobes linear-ligulate, subobtuse, closely 
covered without by many-celled (some gland-tipped) white hairs, 
within thinly pubescent. Corolla 3 in. long, white (HW. H. Johnston).

¢land-hairy, bracts inconspicuous ; upper part a nearly simple raceme 
with solitary opposite flowers, lower part with short 1—4-flowered spikes 
in each axil. Ovary densely shaggy with erect several-celled hairs.

The flowering cyme being covered up by the many hardly-reduced leaves gives this 
species a striking character.
