Pentanisia ouranogyne
Among low growing savanna vegetation near Kiserian, Kenya. Dec. 2015.
LEAVES: The leaves are lanceolate-linear and beset with stiff pubescence.
They are arranged opposite on the stems.
SUBSHRUB: Lower portions woody with upper portions herbaceous, about 60 cm tall.
FLOWERS: The dark blue flowers have long slender tubes and a crown of long hairs blocking the throat - I suspect these function to exclude some nectar robbers. There are four or five petals.

UNARMED.
