Andersson describes two forms: var. latifolia (1. c. 300 [1851] et 1. c. 56 [1860]): 
foliis 3-4 lin. longis, 1-2 lin. latis, apicem versus subserrulatis, and var. microphylla 
(I. c. [1851] and 1. c. 296 [1868]): foliis 1-2 lin. longis, lineam latis, margine subin- 
tegro revolutis. To the last form belong the specimens cited above. Hookerf. (l. c. 
635 [1888]) mentions a “ forma major Andersson in Herb. Wall." (S. clavata Wallich, 
Cat. 3698," by R. Blinkworth, Kumaon): ‘ Leaves 1-114 in. rounded obovate nar- 
Towed into a petiole 14 in. , and capsules nearly 14 in. long.” It seems to be a differ- 
ent species. According to Andersson the leaves are “ subtus opaco-glaucescentia 
costa flava nitente eximie prominente plana,” which is the case in the specimens I 
have seen. 
The leaves of the type of S. furcata Andersson are denticulate, and the nerves are 
more or less prominent beneath; the petioles are very short compared with blade. 
The broad ventral glands of the flowers are the same in both sexes as in the typical 
S. Lindleyana; the stamens are glabrous. I cannot see a real difference between it 
and S. furcata Andersson. Andersson apparently mixed S. furcata with his S. 
fruticulosa which he omitted from the Prodromus, only citing S. arbuscula Anders- 
son (1860) as a synonym of S. furcata. The S. arbuscula is apparently a misprint 
for S. fruticulosa, which belongs to a different section (see p. 119).

It is with some hesitation that I describe this plant as a new species. It may be 
only a form of S. Souliei Seemen, the c? of which according to von Seemen chiefly 
ers in its entire more glaucous leaves, its shorter catkins and in its glabrous fila- 
ments. Unfortunately I have not been able to examine the type of S. Souliei (see
