 siusculi, 0*06 cm. long. De calyce fructescente sileo. 



Looks much like G. decurrens Giirke, but differs in the shortly 

 stalked, coarsely crenate leaves, the short subracemose inflores- 

 cence, the ampler calyx with broader hind lobe and somewhat 

 longer front and side ones, the remarkably curved tube of the 

 corolla, the exserted stamens, and somewhat fleshy stigma-lobes.

Though quite different in habit and foliage from C. nyikensis 

 Baker from Nyassaland, there is much resemblance between the 

 two in the inflorescence. Among other points may be mentioned 

 the smaller flowering and longer and narrower fruiting calyx of the 

 Khodesian plant, and its corolla with a larger and basally ^ ucl1 

 more narrow tube.
