Pics of the African Hygro that smells like a billy goat, from last year. This flowering stem is not as strong as Cavan's specimen in the 1st posting, but the lower parts of the plant were bigger than the flowering ones. The plant is covered with short sticky glandular hairs.
(Scale: millimeters)

The corolla tube is about 1 inch long.

Top view at the lower lip. The throat has a structure looking like teeth pointing backward. (One half of this lip is stunted.)
