Hab. Belgian Congo, Kamatanda, about seventy-five miles 

 north of Elisabethville ; Rogers, 10,329. 



Planta semispithamea vel minus. Folia 1-5-2-5 cm. long., 

 4-8 mm. lat., in sicco viridia ; petioli circiter 3 mm. long. 

 Pedunculi summum 5 mm. long., saepe vero breviores. Bracteolae 

 circa 10 x 2 mm. Calycis segmenta 14 x 1 mm. Corollae tubus 

 20 mm. long., dimidio inf. 2 mm. lat., dimidio sup. 6-8 mm. ; 

 palatus valde prominens ; lobi 11 mm. long. Antherarum loculi 

 oblongi, 3 mm. long. Ovarium 3 mm. long., praesertim superne 

 glandulis sessilibus vestitum. Stylus pubescens, 17 mm. long. 

 Capsula 13 mm. long., deorsum angustata, apice umbonata, glan-

The lowly habit, the foliage and the indumentum are the chief 

 distinctive marks of this species.

Hab. Rhodesia, Bulawayo ; Rogers, 5740. Bechuanaland, 

 Mahalapye ; id., 6098. 



Folia raro 2 cm. attingentia, plerumque circa 10-12 mm. long., 

 2-3*5 mm. lat. ; petioli 1-3 mm. long. Bracteolae vix 1 mm. long. 

 Flores verisimiliter albi. Calycis segmenta 2-5 mm. long. Corolla 

 tota 5-5 mm. long. ; tubus 2*5 x 2*5 mm. ; labia 3 mm. long., 

 labii antici lobi subquadrati fere 1 mm. long. Antherarum loculus 

 sup. 1 mm. long., loculus inf. (incluso calcare apice truncato) 

 1*75 mm. Ovarium 1*5 mm. long. ; stylus inferne puberulus 3 mm. 

 long. Capsula anguste oblongo-ovoidea, obtusa, 5-5 mm. long. 



This can be told easily from J", filifolia Lindau by its small 

 leaves ; the narrow calyx-segments and much smaller lower lip 

 of the corolla are additional marks.
