Ramuli nudo 1-1:5 mm. diam. Folia solemniter 4-5 x L:7-2 em. ; petioli 
5 mm. long., transversim rugulosi, Сута usque ad 8 mm. long., cirea 6 mm. 
diam. Pedunculus 2-3 mm. long.: pedicelli vulgo circa 2 mm. long. 
Bracteæ 1-2 mm.long. Calyx segre 1 тт. long. Corollæ tubus 1'2 mm. 
long. 1:5 mm. lat.; lobi vix 2 mm. long. Filamenta neenon anthere

In appearance this somewhat resembles S. Welwitschii, Gilg, one of the 
climbing species. The affinity seems to be with ©. Marquesii, Bak., and 
S. pungens, Soler., but from both it differs in leaf as well as flower.
