This species is here separated from J. flava solely by the indumentum of the 
calyx, Several examples determined by Oliver and Lindau as J. palustris have been 
cited accordingly under J. flava, ‘The Somali example called J. palustris by Lindau 
(Riva, 1156) has not been seen; Keller, 194, is smaller and greyer than J. palustris, 
and is named J. suaveolens by Lindau. 
20. J. kirkiana, 7. Anders. in Journ. Linn. Soc. vii. 39. Leaves

as J. flava.—Lindau in Engl. Pfl. Ost-Afr. C. 373. J. fasciata, Lindau

The example of Holst, marked by Lindau J, fasciata, Nees (i.e. for me J. flava), 
matches very well one of the type examples of J. kirkiana. That is to say, the 
present species might be an extreme form of J. flava, but the flowers appear, when dried, 
white with purple marks, and were noted by Holst as “ white purple-stained.” 
21. J. nyassana, Lindaw in Engl. Jahrb. xx. 66. Floral leaves 
lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, very acute; bracts and bracteoles with 
linear yellow-hairy tips. Corolla 4-4 in. long. Capsule }-4 in. long, 
otherwise as J. flava.—Lindau in Engl. & Prantl, Pflanzenfam. iv. 3 B.

Capsule 4-seeded, but Lindau puts the species in sect. Monechma. Lindau also 
says the spikes are subcapitate, the corolla glabrous; he described from poor material. 
The corolla is perhaps purple. 
22. J. linearispica, C. B. Clarke. Root woody ; branches 6-10 in. 
long, minutely pubescent. Leaves 1 by } in., oblong, subobtuse at 
either end, sessile, when mature glabrous. Spike 4 by } in., much 
interrupted at the base; floral leaves scarcely } in. long, lanceolate, 
2-1-flowered—i.e. containing usually one corolla and an empty bract to 
upper flower. Sepals 4, } in. long, linear-lanceolate, hairy and with 
stalked glands, the 5th posticous much smaller. Corolla 4 in. long: 
One anther-cell below the other, tailed; pollen with 2 stopples banded, 
tubercles minute. Ovary shaggy, style glabrous. Capsules $ by
