Notes
Jilbadhiig, tarraxo (Som.). J. parvifolia sensu Fl. Trop. E. Afr. is now treated as J. rivae subsp. quercifolia M. Gilbert & Thulin. The material from NE Kenya referred to J. arguta in Fl. Trop. E. Afr. belongs to a distinct species, J. euarguta M. Gilbert & Thulin, with sharply dentate leaves, the tips of the teeth having conspicuous stalked or sessile glands. J. euarguta may well occur also in Somalia.
