Sir, subsp. angustifolia photographs O have seen from Africa ...leaves show an extreme of change in length and width . I do not remember seeing a post with that extreme variation . There is variation in corolla color too...near white to deep yellow , and corolla center with or without maroon color . There is X. tridentata subsp. alatipes with winged pedicel and winged outer lobes of calyx . There is one more variant with lot of hairs . I shall go through the posts here and on facebook .
