A single specimen with one flower. The flower apparently 

 crowns a very short lateral branch bearing a pair of small leaves, 

 and if this is the usual inflorescence, the plant is not a typical 

 member of § Thunbergiopsis. It finds its nearest affinity with T. 

 cordata Lindau, a species not represented in this country, which is 

 described as having narrower leaves on shorter stalks, longer 

 peduncles, somewhat larger bracteoles, blue flowers, a shorter corolla 

 with differently shaped tube, and anthers all with a spur at base. 



Hygrophila spinosa T. And. in Thwaites Enutu. PL Zeyl. 225. 



Near Masinde, Unyoro; Bagshaive, 871. 



A form with very short spines, probably the same as H. Lin- 

 daviana Burkill, if that be really a distinct species, which Mr. 

 Burkill himself doubts.
