S. simplex was considered by Bentham, in DC. Prodr. x. 522, synonymous with 
8. dregeana, Benth. The true S. simplex, however, as represented by numerous 
Specimens of which Krauss, 400, is the type, is easily distinguishable from S. 
dregeana (Drége, 4850b) by the very prominently angled many-furrowed less leafy 
stems, the shorter adpressed leaves, the distinctly seabrid calyx, and the very much 
Jonger sec ds.

34 ft. high, simple or sparingly branched, somewhat terete, glabrescent. 
Leaves subverticellate (the many-leaved false whorls 1j—1} in. apart), 
narrowly linear, 14-1} in. long, } lin. broad, scabrid, revolute on the

11. S. dregeana, Benth. in DC. Prodr. x. 522, partly. Probably 
not specifically distinct from S. triida, the chief distin guishing characters 
being that all the leaves in S. dreyeana are entire ; the corolla is some- 
what larger and the perfect anther-cells are 1} lin. long.—S. Moore in
