Apparently a very distinct species, of which the specimens are indifferent; 
the acuminate calyx-teeth and long slender corolla are very unlike any form of

of sericea; and these must be referred to S. melissefolia. . The corolla varies in 
length of tube, which is rarely exserted (S. splendens), and in breadth across the
