Canarina

Canarina is an interesting genus of the bellflower family, with one species on Canary Islands, and two in East Africa. This one is one of the East Africans; it is a neotype, since the collections the original description was based on was stored in the Berlin Herbarium, and was not among the 20 000 types that was rescued from the destruction from the fires that resulted from the bombing of March 1-2, 1943.
