Sogere, 2000 ft., 127. Flowering spikes green. 
Differs from A. longispica Warb. chiefly in the smaller not cordate 
leaves, the tiny fugacious stipules and the short 2 spikes with larger 
at most 3-toothed (not 3-partite) bracteoles. Possibly the 5 spikes 
may grow out after flowering as do the cf, but the only flowering 2 
spike found on the specimen is as described.

Affinity with A. insulana Mull. Arg. ; distinguishable inter alia 
by the 2 bracts and short styles. The same plant was collected by 
Mr. 0. T. White at Mafulu (472 in herb. Kew.) who notes it as a
