This species is a truly Soulli-Indian one. Its bracts are ; 



decurreut aluug the peduncle, like those of ;S^. decurrens {Endo- 

 pogon decurrens^ N. ab E.) ; and this resemblance probably led 

 AVight to consider the'Xilgiri plant to be the same as the Khasia 

 species. S.paUidus belongs to tlie group of which S. tristis may 

 be taken as tlie type. It is evidently a rare p)lant, as I have seen 

 specimens of it only in AVight's latest collections recently pi't-^- 

 sented to tbe herbarium of the Eoyal Gardens, Kew.
