A highly variable species, difficult of limitation, of which extreme 
forms appear to merge into L. eriantha, Benth., on the one hand, and 
L. imlchra, Diimmer, on the other. According to Medley- Wood (I.e.), 
L. corymbosa, Bth., is known to the natives as um-Hloholuku or 
um-Hlamhaluku, the roots being used as a tonic by them. The differences 
of L. eriantha and L. corymbosa as given in the key are based on extreme 
forms.
