Northwestern India: Afghginistan, according to Lawson westward to 

 Persia and Arabia. 



Of the type specimens I have only seen Griffith's No. 2020 from Afghanistan 

 which fully agrees with Aitchison's description, the leaves having a dense woolly 

 whitish covering on their under surface.

Szech uan: Mt. Omei, September 1904 (Veitch Exped. No. 4816). 



Ihis species is very closely related to S. rugosa Hance, but it may be at once 

 <listinguished from that species by its longer leaves with longer petioles. The 

 petals are quite glabrous.
