(Herb. D., Sd., Hk.) 
Root perennial? stem at length suffruticose at base? Apparently a much and 
diffusely-branched plant, 3 feet or more in height, with rigid, slender branches, 
glabrous or nearly so in all parts. Leaves 24-3 inches long, rarely 4 inch wide, 
pale green, tapering much to the base, imperfectly petiolate, the petiole shortly 
decurrent in a ciliate lamina. Panicle 1 foot wide; pedicels 1-1} inch long. Inv. 
4 lines long. The leaves on young plants are more often cu¢ than on older, in which 
they are mostly minutely and distantly denticulate. 
96. S. pubigerus (Linn. Amoen. 6, Afr. 66) ; stem ligneous at base, 
herbaceous upwards, diffusely much-branched ; branches terete, striate, 
scabro-pubescent or subglabrous, widely spreading, alternately decom- 
pound ; leaves stem-clasping, rigid, scabrous above, cobwebby beneath, 
the lower incised or pinnatifid, with few sharply-toothed lobes, the 
upper small, oblong or obovate, sharply few-toothed ; fi.-branches rod-
