In the British Museum there is a fragmentary specimen collected by Gossweiler 
at Malange, Angola, which very closely resembles L. Whytei, and may prove to 
be the same species. It has, however, a shorter calyx-tube, longer teeth, and a 
smaller golden-yellow corolla with narrower tube scarcely longer than the calyx.
