The type specimen (Drége, 4969) in E. Meyer’s Herbarium has no locality upon 
the label ; Drage and E. Meyer, however, record it from between Zaandplaat and 
Komgha, in Komgha Div., and between the Bashee River and Morley in 
Tembuland. Dr. Schlechter has confused this very distinct species with 
P. campanulatus and a small-flowered variety of that plant, from which and from 
all other species it is at once distinguished by the very different corona-lobes and 
remarkable anther-appendages. 
23. P. campanulatus (N. E. Br.) ; “root tuberous” (Sanderson) ; 
stem 3-2 ft. high, simple, thinly and somewhat harshly pubescent 
or scaberulous; leaves suberect, 3-6 in. long, 14-4} lin. broad,

linear or linear-lanceolate, acute, deciduous ; sepals 5—9 lin. long, 
2-3 lin. broad, lanceolate, acute ; corolla globose, not lobed beyond 
the middle, 1}-2 in. in diam., somewhat coarsely pubescent 
and usually purplish outside in dried flowers, but according to a 
drawing at Kew dull green, glabrous and apparently whitish or 
greenish-white inside, “corolla yellow” and “ yellow-green ” (Wood) ; 
united part 3-1 in. long; lobes 7-13 lin. long and as much in 
breadth, roundish-ovate, subacute, incurved, with overlapping 
margins, perhaps sometimes recurved or spreading at the tips ; 
corona-lobes arising 1-1} lin. up the staminal column, horizontally 
spreading, 33-74 lin. long, linear or linear-lanceolate, obtuse, with 
a pair of erect obliquely deltoid wing-like keels at their base 1}—2 
lin. high, reaching to the base of the anther-appendages, dark 
purple-brown, with the keels paler ; staminal column 3-5 lin. high ; 
anther-appendages 14-2 lin. long, oblong, obtuse, with reflexed 
sides, erect, with their tips exceeding and inflexed over the margin of 
the crater-like 5-crenate style-apex. Gomphocarpus campanulatus,
