A glabrous glaucous tree. Leaves 3—4 in., base acute; nerves 6-10 pairs, very

glands are rarely on the blade itself). Spikes 3-4 in., dense-fld. Styles jointed on to 
the top of the ovary. Capsules 4-4 in. diam., globose, wings of columella thick, 
horned at the outer angle ; cocci very thick, woody. Seeds globose.— Perhaps 
not distinct from S. discolor. The ticket attached to Wallich’s 7965 D, from 
* Sirmore, ?? W. S. Webb, ? " is probably intended for this plant, though represented
