Tropican Arrica. Uganda, Maitland 119 (type); Small 1150. 
The narrowly lanceolate leaves of Maitland 119 give the plant 
a very different appearance from typical L. usuiensis, so that at 
first sight it looks like a distinct species. Small 1150 has broader 
leaves, however, and though both specimens are more glabrescent 
than typical wswiensis and differ in the shape of the basal swelling 
of the corolla, it seems better to treat them as a variety of 
L, usuiensis. The shape of the basal swelling does not appear to 
be a very reliable character (see Fl. Trop. Afr. vol. vi. sect. 1, 
p- 304, note under Z. Brauniz).
