Puxsag and Scixpr, in the plains; frequent.—Distrm, Aden. 
Leaves 2 by j in.; petiole à in. Panicles many, axillary, mostly of sessile 
clustered spikes 1-13 in.; rhachises after the flowers have dropped rough from the 
crowded scars, Drupes } in., subsessile, often touching each other.— Closely allied to 
the preceding species, but well distinguished by Brandis. Wight’s S. Stocksii is 
figured from a flowering example which has the panicles rather more compound than 
usual,
