Hab. Very common in the Central Province, up to an elevation of 

 7000 feet, Var. y. Horton Plains. 



A very variable plant in the size of the flowers anil in the amount and character of 

 the pubescence, which latter upon the racemes varies from very glandular to being 

 nearly or quite free from glands. Var. y may possibly prove to be a distinct species, 

 but 1 am disposed to believe it to he only a variety, 



2. S. oblon^a, Bentli. 1. c— C.P. 2057. 



^ Hab. Common on tbe rocky margins of streams in the Central Pro- 

 vince, up to an elevation of 7000 feet. 



All my specimens have the leaves with their base narrowed gradually into the pe- 

 tiole, and therefore belong to Bentham's var. j3 of this species, and which would 

 seem to be the typical form of it.

I suspect that this is a mere state or variety of the followiug species, as the differ- 

 ence between the two plants is scarcely sufficient to be considered specific.
