11-2 lin. long; bracts remote, linear, about 1 lin. long; sepals 
lanceolate-oblong, obtuse, puberulous, viscid, coloured, 1 lin. long ; 
corolla urceolate (“ovate,” Bentham), throat somewhat contracted, 
pubescent, viscid, about 11 lin. long; segments erect or perhaps 
spreading, shortly acuminate, darker coloured, about 4 the length of 
the tube ; filaments rather broad, bent at the apex; anthers included, 
dorsifixed, oblong, obtuse, over 3 lin. long, crested ; pore less than 
1 the length of the cell; crests ovate, ciliolate, about 3 the length 
of the cell; style included; stigma subsimple; ovary short, turbi-

Coast Region: Swellendam Div.; on the slopes and summit of the great 
mountain peak near Swellendam, Burchell, 7326! 7347! (not 1347 as quoted 
by Bentham) 7403! 
It seems strange that this species, so well-marked by its leaves and peculiar 
corolla-limb, should have escaped all collectors but Burchell. But the locality 
has not been well explored.
