Flowers 3–7 in sometimes subumbelliform racemes or panicles; pedicels articulated at the base. Sepals obovate, pubescent outside, 6–10 mm long. Petals 8(–10), 9–13 mm long, hairy at least at the base outside. Stamens pubescent. Ovary hairy, bristly; style hairy except at the tip.

Notes
The populations in Somalia and Kenya differ in their obtuse leaves, and subspecies rank has been suggested for them by Gillett (in sched.). Friis in Willdenowia 20: 127–130 (1991) argued for the reinstatement of L. somalensis as a species. However, the variability of both the Somali populations and of L. bukobensis outside Somalia is considerably greater than stated by Friis, and I still prefer a broad circumscription of L. bukobensis.
