Information
Herbaceous; branches 3 ft. long, straggling, angular, more or less hispid; lower nodes distant, often flower-bearing. Leaves up to 3 1/2 by 3/4–1 in., narrowed at either end, slightly hairy on both surfaces or glabrate; petiole 1/4–1 in. long. Flowers 3–1 in each axil, sessile; floral leaves 1/4– 1/3 in. long, round or obovate, some narrower often added. Sepals 5, subequal, 1/8– 1/6 in. long, broad-lanceolate or subovate, scarcely acute, sparsely hispid. Corolla exceeding 1/2 in. in length, purple; tube very little dilated at the top; anticous lobe much longer than the posticous 2-fid lobe. Filaments glabrous; one anther-cell below the other, tailed; pollen ellipsoid, with 2 stopples, longitudinally banded, with several rows of tubercles on the band. Ovary glabrous; style base hairy. Capsule exceeding 1/3 in. long, glabrous, 4-seeded, with a short thick solid stalk; seeds reticulate rugose.

Notes
Soyaux, 296, is identical with Vogel's Fernando Po plant. Vogel's specimen at Kew is d on the herbarium sheet “dimorphic fruit,” which is very likely to be the case; but I can find no dimorphic fruit on any of the West African species of this group. It is possible that the herbarium was grounded on J. Lindaui, which is extremely like J. insularis, but has linear very acute sepals.
