Information
Branches patently hispid. Leaves (even the uppermost) ovate-lanceolate, hairy. Floral leaves obovate, round. Corolla 1/2 in. long and upwards. Normal capsules exceeding 1/4 in. in length; abnormal 1-seeded capsules fully 1/8 in. long, with strongly tubercled wings.
Distribution
German East Africa Mozamb. Dist. Usambara, Kwa Mshuza, Holst, 4324!British East Africa Nile Land Tana River, Thomas, 59!
Notes
Lindau, in calling this J. heterocarpa, supposes that the large flowers produce the normal capsules, while the abnormal capsules arise from very small (or cleistogamous) flowers similar to those seen on J. heterocarpa. This is very probably so. But the J. heterocarpa, T. Anders., appears to me to differ by its dense clusters and long-tipped white-hairy sepals; moreover, though the examples of J. heterocarpa, T. Anders., show abundant normal capsules, they do not show a single corolla approaching in size that of Holst, 4324.
