In the examples called J. Rostellaria by Lindau, the leaves are more ovate than 

 in the type J. Whytei (with lanceolate leaves); but the acute linear sepals and hairy 

 capsule do not bring it near J. -calcarata. The other part of Scott-Elliot, 6306, 

 is Dlsperma Mlimandscharicum.

Lindau, in calling this J. heterocarpa, supposes that the large flowers produce the 

 normal capsules, while the abnormal capsules arise from very small (or cleistoganious) 

 flowers similar to those seen on J. heterocarpa. This is very probably so. But the 

 J. heterocarpa, T. Anders., appears to me to differ by its dense clusters and long- 

 tipped w^hite-hairy sepals; moreover, though the examples of J. heterocarpa, 

 T. Anders., show abundant normal capsules, they do not show a single corolla 

 approaching in size that of JSolst^ 4324.
