Information
Inflorescence in terminal strobilate short heads, 1–2 in. long; floral leaves 3/4 by 1/2 in., ovate from a rounded base, imbricate; otherwise nearly as B. Prionitis .
Distribution
Eritrea Nile Land Massowa, Deflers, 1036! Keren, Steudner, 1504!Abyssinia Nile Land Samen; Jaja, 5000–6000 ft., Schimper, 14! near Adegunna, Schimper, 1008! Shoa, Petit! and without precise locality, Salt!
Notes
Interpetiolar spines 2 or 3 together, some short, some 1 in. long. The present plant is distributed by Schweinfurth and Barbey (specimens collected in Arabia Felix) as the true B. trispinosa, Vahl, and doubtless rightly, as Forskal in his original description says the flower was fulvous-yellow, 2-lipped, and the spikes strobilate.
