This species is here separated from J. fiava solely by the indumentum of tlie 

 calyx. Several examples determined by Oliver and Lindau as ,/. palusfris have been 

 cited accoidingly under J.flava. The Somali example called J. palustris by Lindau 

 {Biva, 1156) has not been seen; Keller, 194, is smaller and greyer than J. 2)(ilustrh; 

 and is name»l J. suaveolens by Lindau. 



20. J. kirkiana, T. Anders, in Journ. Linn. Soc. vii. 39. Leaves

 as J.flava. — Lindau in Engl. Pfl. Ost-Afr. C. 'M'^. J. fasciata, Lindau

The example of Hoist, marked by Lindau J. fasciata, Nees (i.e. for me J.flava)^ 

 matches very well one of the type examples of J. kirkiana. That is to say, the 

 present species might be an extreme form of J.flava, but the flowers appear, when dried, 

 white with purple marks, and were noted by Hoist as " white purple-stained." 



21. J. nyassana, Lindau in Engl. Jahrh. xx. 06. Floral leaves 

 lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, very acute ; bracts and bracteoles with 

 linear yellow-hairy tips. Corolla \-l^ in. long. Capsule J-J in. long, 

 otherwise as J. flava, — Lindau in Engl. & Prantl, Pflanzenfam. iv. 3 B.

Capsule 4-8eeded, but Lindau puts the species in sect. Monechma. Lindau also 

 says the spikes are subcapitate, the corolla glabroJis ; he described from poor material. 

 The corolla is perhaps purple. 



- 22. J. linearispica, C. B. Clarke. Root woody; branches G-10 in. 

 long, minutely pubescent. Leaves 1 by I in., oblong, subobtuse at 

 either end, sessile, when mature glabrous. Spike 4 by | in,, much 

 interrupted at the base ; floral leaves scarcely J[ in. long, lanceolate, 

 2-1 -flowered — i.e. containing usually one corolla and an empty bract to 

 upper flower. Sepals 4, ^ in. long, linear-lanceolate, hairy and with 

 stalked glands, the 5th posticous much smaller. Corolla J in. long. 

 One anther-cell below the other, tailed ; pollen with 2 stopples banded, 

 tubercles minute. Ovary shaggy, style glabrous. Capsules J by 

 scarcely ^-j i^^-) linear, hairy.
