 flowers erect-spreading-, long pedicellate ; bracts lanceolate, 

 setaceously acuminate, as long as the pedicels or shorter ; lateral

Described from one living specimen and several dried ones. 

 The drawing, which represents merely a rough sketch to shew the 

 general aspect of the whole plant, was made from a plant collected 

 at Pietersburg {Bolus, 11168).
