Closely allied to and resemUing tte preceding species, and I have sometimes felt 



disposed to regard them as varieties, but the difFereat character of the pubescence, 

 and the more acuminated leaves of the present plant, are perhaps sufficient to warrant 

 their being kept distinct.

The entire leaves, of a larger size and different shape, and the hairy calyx of the 

 present plants are the principal characters to distinguish it from S. Idrsida, W. & ".

Differs from the preceding in its more acuminated leaves and in the character o 

 the pubescence. From S. pulchra, Wight, Ic. t. 1230, to which it bears a close re- 

 semblance, the entire leaves of the present plant seem sufficient to distinguish it.
