 and the extremely small calyces,

According to Dr. Stapf s clavis (Fl. Trop. Afr. iv. sect. i. 97), 

 this must be inserted next to P. bicarpellata Stapf, but the leaves 

 of Dr. Bagshawe's plant are somewhat different in shape, and often 

 tern ate or quaternate, the calyx-lobes are larger and broader, the 

 corolla-tube broader and the lobes also broader and shorter. It 

 might easily be mistaken at a first view for P. Welivitschii Stapf, a 

 species which, however, on account of its short corollas with small 

 lobes, is placed in another part of the genus.

 Dr. Stapf himself kindly named for me this recently published 

 species. The type specimen was found in Western Ankole.
