| Notes: | Label source: Note from Dick Brummitt to David Field: David, may I donate this to the Museum. I bought it on 6th April 1990 outside Mzuzu market in Northern Malawi for 50 tambala (11 pence). Steve Renvoize says it is a Digitaria and keys out to D. minori, flora which is known only from the type from Mansa in Northern Zambia of which we have no material at Kew. He thinks it might be a new species - prehaps you need to put it in a red folder. | ||||
