In Engl. Jahrb. xxviii. 478, Dr. Engler described a variety from German East 

 Africa, which he called uhehensi-i (Uhehe ; near Mahenera, Goetze, 711). There is 

 nothing in the description, except the purple teeth of the calyx, by which I can 

 distinguish it from the type. 



T. affinis, De Wild. Etudes Fl. Katanga, 122, appears to be very closely allied 

 to, if not the same as, T. spicata. I have seen no specimen, and the description 

 furnishes no distinguishing character. 



2. T. angolensis, Skan. An erect branched pubescent perennial 

 herb 2i— 6 in. high ; stem quadrangular ; internodes up to 7 lin. long,
