SESUTO : Hlokoa lelelle. The large piece of grass. Ntsebele ea morn. 

 Tell me of the woods. Hlokoa is the diminutive form of " Lefhloko 

 ana," meaning "a piece of grass." Used as a love philtre. 



This specimen does not fit any of the varieties into which Harvey 

 divides the species. It is an exact match with a plant from Natal 

 collected by Gueinzius, and more nearly so with the Uitenhage 

 specimens. The plants from the other localities cited differ in their 

 broader leaves ; they all, however, form a distinct group in the species.
