Schlechter, $245, from the Karee Bergen, Vanrhynsdorp Division, should 
probably be referred to this species. 
S. crenulata, Briq. in Engl. Jahrb. xix. 192, appears to be the same as this 
species, We have not seen the:type specimen (Steingroever, 8), which was collected 
in South-west Africa (precise locality not recorded), but Schlechter’s 11427, 
which was received as S. crenulata, is undoubtedly S. multiflora. Dr. Briquet, in 
Bull. Herb. Boiss. 2™° sér. iii. 1087, has identified a specimen collected by Dinter 
(1130) at Gubub, in Great Namaqualand, with S. crenulata. 
41. 8. flavescens (Benth. in E. Meyer, Comm. 241); an erect 
branched undershrub, everywhere shortly and densely yellowish- 
tomentose; branches erect, straight, rigid ; leaves sessile, lanceolate, 
4—9 lin. long, 1—2 lin. broad, acute or sometimes subobtuse, narrowed 
at the base, entire or minutely few-toothed at the apex, thick; 
bracts similar to the leaves, longer or shorter than the calyx; 
whorls 2-6-flowered, rather close together at the ends of the 
branches; calyx tubular-campanulate or campanulate, 3}-4} lin. 
long; teeth lanceolate-triangular, 1j-1} lin. long, acuminate; 
corolla apparently yellow, tomentose outside on the upper part ; 
tube 24-23 lin. long; upper lip suborbicular, or broadly obovate, 
about 12 lin. long ; lower lip 3-3} lin. long. DO. Prodr. xii. 493.
