In Burchell, 7801/2, Mund, 48, Bolus, 5195, 5424, 9930, and Schlechter, 
7818, the cilia on the calyx-lobes are much shorter and less evident than in the 
other specimens, but are much more conspicuous than in any specimen of 8. 
capitellata, and appear to be somewhat intermediate. Schlechter, 9246, as sent 
to Kew, consists of 3 forms of this plant, ove of which has puberulous leaves. 
Sieber (?) 154, is somewhat intermediate between this species and S. brachy- 
phylla. 
7. S. capitellata (Lichtenstein ex Roem. & Schultes, Syst. Veg. 
iii. 171); apparently 1-2 ft. high, densely branched; branchlets 
puberulous or minutely tomentose, with or without a mingling of 
a longer pubescence ; leaves 3-nate, imbricate or as long as the 
internodes, erect or ascending, 2-2 lin. long, linear or linear-lanceo- 
late, acute, straight, more rarely lanceolate or subovate and incurved, 
glabrous, often with minute sessile glands on the margins when 
young ; flower-heads copious, subglobose or obovoid, about } in. in 
diam.; calyx of the lower flowers 2—2 lin. long and broad, elliptic, 
obovate or rhomboid-vbovate, thinly coriaceous, glabrous ; lobes as 
long as the tube in the type, in other forms about 2 as long, rounded 
or broadly deltoid and subacute or obtuse, thinly ciliate with minute 
hairs often mingled with minute sessile glands or without cilia ; 
corolla 11—2 lin. long, tubular, much contracted within the calyx, 
the exserted part about twice as long as the calyx or less, sometimes 
gradually narrowing downwards but often scarcely broader across the 
lobes than elsewhere, purple or red; anthers 3 lin. long, linear, 
oblong ; stigma simple. Kunth in Kénigl. Acad. Wissensch, Berlin,

Var. 8, crassistigma (N. HE. Br.) ; apparently about 5-6 in. high; leaves 
sometimes with a few hairs at the tips when young; flower-heads 2-3 lin. in 
diam. ; bracts O or 2, linear-filiform ; calyx about ? lin. long and 3 lin. broad ; 
lobes about 4 as long as the tube, ciliate with minute sessile glands, without 
hairs; stigma thickened or subcapitate, but minute. 
Var. y, angustata (N. E. Br.) ; flower-heads about 2 lin. in diam. ; calyx 
about $ lin. long and broad, obtriangular; lobes about 4 as long as the tube, 
ciliate with very minute hairs and sessile glands ; corolla funnel-shaped, rapidly 
or abruptly narrowed at about the middle into a slender tube, which is partly 
exserted beyond the calyx; stigma simple.
