Engler and Krause consider that L. alboanmdatus slioukl be placed in the 

 section Rigidiflori. It appears to the writer, liowovcr, to have more in common 

 with the Infundibuliformes as defined above (p. 257). The corolla-lobes are 

 much shorter than the tube, and the anthers are only one-third to IihIT as long as 

 those of the Rigidiflori. \n both the^e respects, as well as in habit, L. alboaiinulatus 

 agrees with L. trinervius, Engl., L. djurens^is, Engl., and L. brunneus, Engl. (sect. 

 Infundibuliformes), It luns down in the key (p. 265) beside Z. brunneus.

 over J lin. long, dorsal margin 1| lin. long. Receptacle and calyx to- 

 gether campanulate, about L' lin, long. Calyx subtruncate, 1 lin. long.

The systematic position of L. apodanthii.t must I'emain doubtful until fully 

 developed flowers arc known. It may be placed in the meantime beside L. Penta- 

 gonia, DC, and L. senegalensis, De Wild,
