 do not show fruit but seem the same as 8, Brunonis ; they differ considerably in 

 their glabrousness from S. Amottiana.

 lax spreading hairs. Petals | in., purple, ovate, acute. Anthers ovate-oblong, o -

 only slightly differs from S, Amottiana by its greater hairiness, its rather larger flowers, 

 and more elongate capsule.
