I have seen of this species three very imperfect specimens, 

 with a few detached leaves and the remains of one or two floral 

 ones still adhering to the specimens. Tlie lax elongated panicles 

 of flowers distinguish this plant from S. glandulosns, to which, 



judging from the shape of the corolla and capsule, it appears to 

 be very nearly allied.
