The leaves are probably rather larger when fully matured. In our 
dried specimens they are very dark in colour, while the near y black 
flowers strongly contrast with the pale or creamy indumentum of the 
minute calyx-teeth and bracts. As in the case of Rhabdostigma 
(‘Te. Pl.’ 2275), our only specimens were collected by Sir John Kirk 
Over thirty years ago. None of them are in fruit,—D). OLIvar.
