pubescent, leafy. Leaves erect or ascending, 3-4 in a whorl, subsessile 
or with very short petioles, 14-21 in. long, 3-8 lin. broad, oblong or

The central tooth and the processes on the face of the coronal-lobes vary 
exceedingly in length in different specimens, but I find no other distinction. The 
shortest measurements given belong to the type (Whyte’s specimen), the longest are 
from Buchanan’s specimen, whilst that collected by Scott-Elliot is intermediate 
between the two in the length of t!.ese organs. The flowers have a pleasant odour,. 
according to Buchanan. 
17. S. aciculare, V. #. Br. Plant probably dwarf, branching. 
Stems (in the specimens seen) 2-3 in. long, pubescent with minute 
white curved hairs, as is also all the rest of the plant except the 
corolla. Leaves }-} in. apart, subsessile or very shortly petiolate,
