This plant resembles S. Saundersii. Hook. f., which has a wider corolla-tube 
somewhat funnel-shaped at the top, leaves with fewer wider-apart 2erves, and 
ellipsoid pollen.

less than 3 in. long; tube scarcely in. long; otherwise as S. tubiflos.—

Flowers not seen. Hiern says this species differs from S. Cooperi mainly by the 
pubescence on the corolla; the leaf appears much stouter and more shaggy, the 
peduncle stouter and more hairy. It is close to S. Cooperi; and, from the large 
size of the corolla, differs from S. breviflos. 
5. S. katangensis, De Wild. & Durand in Bull. Soc. Belg. xl. 29. 
Stemless. Leat solitary, 4in. broad, densely tomentose on both sur- 
faces. Peduncles 1 in. long, carrying compound many-flowered cymes.
