Engler, in describing this species under the name of S. calycinum, Welw., in 
Jahrb, xix. 158, states that the lower leaves are sometimes 3-partite, aud usually 
oblong and coarsely dentate along the whole margin. All the leaves of the specimens 
enumerated above are quite entire, with the exception of a few on Kirk’s specimen 
from Dar-es-Salam, which are slightly repand. Engler indicates this species also 
from the following localities in German East Africa :—Usagara; Mpwapwa, 
Stuhlmann, 270 ; Bagamoyo, Hildebrandt, 1192 b ; Ugalla, near Gonda, Bohm, 30;
