Goetze, 1003! from the Kinga (Livingstone) Mountains, German East Africa, has 
been referred to LZ. anguliflorus by Engler in Engl. Jahrb. xxx. 301. It differs from 
the type, however, in having thickly coriaceous leaves, shorter petioles (3-4 lin. long), 
and larger receptacle and calyx ; most of the leaves are very distinctly penninerved, 
with patulous lateral nerves, but a few of them are several-nerved from the base, as 
in the type of L. anguliflorus.
