Closely allied to robust forms of S. elata, Thwaites, but differs by being very 
scabrous, by the rhachis and rhacheolx being scabrous (scarcely hairy), and by the 
tut being smooth (scarcely tessellate). 
.19. S. psilorrhiza, C. B. Clarke; robust, nearly glabrous, rhizome 
‘ry slender, panicle contracted nearly to a linear-oblong dense spike, 
style 3-fid, nut large smooth white, lobes of disc-margin 3 very short obtuse 
thick subreflexed.
