sicca 5 X 5"5 mm. Semina maxime complanata, suborbiculata, 

 2*5 X 2'25 mm. ala circa 0"5 mm. lat. haud exempta. 



The chief points about this as compared with C. JiJi/lesii S. Moore 

 are the almost entire leaves, the bracts shorter than the pedicels, the 

 minutely toothed caljx-lobes, smaller glabrous corollas with narrower 

 tube, and the very small extent to which the ovary adheres to the 

 calyx.

Among South African species nearest J. streptopus E. Mey. from 

 which it is to be distinguished chiefly by the indumentum, the longer 

 and narrower lobes of the calyx and the corolla with shorter tube 

 and lobes.
