long., calcar 0*05 cm. long. Capsula mucrouata, 0*7 cm. long. 

 Semina 0*1 cm. diam., minute tuberculata. 



A very distinct species, quite unlike any other of its section. 

 The single specimen serving for the description has several buds, 

 but only one fully-grown corolla, of which the upper part has been 

 destroyed.

Near J. PhillipsicB Rendle, but easily distinguished by the lowly 

 habit, different bracts and calyx, much narrower lobes of lower lip 

 of corolla, and diverse capsule. 



By an obvious oversight this has been distributed as Justicia 

 monedimoides S. Moore [Moneclima Welwitschii C. B. Clarke). As 

 indicated above, it is not a Monechma.
