passed by Marloth, whilst on a visit to Kew, which 
suggested a re-examination of the plant, when its correct status was 
ascertained. The most salient points of distinction between this 
and the species with which it has hitherto been confounded lie in 
the curiously flattened, not dome-shaped, woody rhizome, the 
coriaceous, subevergreen 10-13-nerved leaves and the larger, short- 
tubed, rotate flowers, which are moreover disposed in large, axillary 
panicles. 
Although the type specimen of J. paniculata came’ originally 
from South Africa, it is unfortunate that no record of its introduc- 
tion to Kew can be discovered nor can anything be said as to its. 
geographical distribution.
