We have not seen the specimens from British East Africa and German East Africa 
(Stuhlmann, 2091, Goetze, 1079), referred by Engler (Engl. Jahrb. xviii. 67, and 
xxx. 403) to S. Janata. We suspect that they belong to S. densiflora or S. Carsont, 
eastern species, the material of which we found mixed up inthe Kew Herbarium with 
S, lanata, This remark also applies to S. danata, var. angustifolia, Eng). in Ann. 
Istit. Bot. Roma, vii. 27, from the Galla Country (Riva, 1285). 
18. S. Monteiroi, Shan. A bushy plant about 2-23 ft. high, 
very closely resembling S. Janata, Engl. ‘It appears to be more slender, 
is much more branched, has narrower leaves and distinctly smaller 
flowers. Pedicels scarcely 1 lin. long; bracteoles linear, 2} lin. long. 
Calyx 24 lin. long, densely woolly as in S. danata ; teeth linear-triangular, 
1} lin. long. Corolla pale lavender, 34 lin. long, 44-5 lin. in diam. ; 
lobes suborbicular, about 1} lin. in diam. Perfect anther-cell oblong, 
1}-1} lin. long. Ovary woolly. Style 3} lin. long, lanceolate at the apex.

19. S, densiflora, Skan. More robust than J. lanata, which it 
closely resembles, more densely leafy, with the leaves rather shorter, 
and distinct in having the flowers subsessile in dense spikes 1-5 in. 
long. Bracteoles linear-lanceolate, 4 in. long. Calyx similar to that of 
S. lanata. Corolla D4 lin. long, 63~7 lin. in diam. ; lobes suborbicular,
