Names
MIMULOPSIS sesamoides S. Moore [family ACANTHACEAE], in Trans. Linn. Soc. ser. 2, Bot. iv. 30. —Lindau in Engl. Pfl. Ost-Afr. C. 367.
Information
Leaves up to 5 1/2 by 3 1/2 in., coarsely toothed or lobed, base cordate; petioles 1–3 in. long. Inflorescence viscid-hairy, loosely compound-cymose. Calyx-segments 2/3–1 in. long, linear-ligulate, not acute. Corolla 1 1/4 in. long, perhaps violet (S. Moore). Capsule narrowly-oblong-ovoid, somewhat widened upwards, 6–8-seeded; otherwise as M. violacea .
Distribution
Nyasaland Mozamb. Dist. Mount Mlanje, Whyte, 89!
Notes
This dried example differs little from those of M. violacea, but by the more lobed strongly cordate leaves. As it comes from a different region and the flowers may possibly prove yellow, it is not now united with M. violacea .
