Notes
The only collection seen from Somalia belongs to subsp. racemosa characterized by the minutely hairy leaves and glabrous exterior to the corolla. Huber (1957) recognised a further three subspecies: subsp. glabra Huber with glabrous leaves from Madagascar, subsp. secamonoides (Schlecht.) Huber with puberulous outside to corolla from Zimbabwe, Angola and Namibia, and subsp. setifera (Schlecht.) Huber from South Africa.
