In the examples called J. Rostel/aria by Lindau, the leaves are more ovate than 
in the type J. Whytei (with lanceolate leaves); but the acute linear sepals and hairy 
capsule do not bring it near J. calcarata, The other part of Scott-Elliot, 6306, 
is Disperma kilimandscharicum.

mostly elliptic-oblong, short-petioled, 14-2 in. long ; but on some speci-

longer petioles. Flowers axillary, about 3 in each axil; floral leaves

Lindau, in calling this J. heferocarpa, supposes that the large flowers produce the 
normal capsules, while the abnormal capsules arise from very small (or cleistogamous) 
flowers similar to those scen on J. heterocarpa. ‘This is very probably so, But the 
J. heterocarpa, T. Anders., appears to me to differ by its dense clusters und long- 
tipped white-hairy sepals; moreover, though the examples of J. heterocarpa, 
- Anders., show abundant normal capsules, they do not show a single corolla 
approaching in size that of Holst, 4324.
