‘differs in being less branched, almost glabrous and less scabrid, leaves and flowers 
usually not more than 2 at a node, leaves broader, and the calyx-teeth slightly 
shorter and less acute. Gossweiler, 1096, from Malange, in Angola, resembles 
Baui’s specimen, but it has longer pedicels and much broader calyx-teeth.
