This beautiful little See plant would be an acquisition 
for growing in warm water tanks in our greenhouses and we 
hope Mr. Lely will be able to send a supply of seeds. He is the 
first collector to find it since the type specimen was discovered 
long ago by Barter in Nupe. Both collectors speak of the highly 
ornamental character of the species. According to Barter it 
grows on rocks in pools after rains; flowers reddish purple, 
lip of corolla with a white spot, large for the size of the plant.
