glabrous ; lobes ovate or deltoid-ovate, acute or subobtuse or the 
larger one acuminate, minutely ciliate ; corolla 1—% lin. long, cam- 
panulate or cup-shaped, with incurved lobes, glabrous; stamens 8 ; 
filaments of the long-styled form less than half as long as the } lin, 
long anthers, and of the short-styled form half as long as the + lin. 
long anthers, varying from shortly connate at their base to almost 
up to (but not with) the base of the anthers, becoming more or less 
separated in fruit; anthers oblong, usually very minutely scabrid on 
the apical notch, not glandular as originally described; ovary very 
minutely scabrid-puberulous on the ridges of the upper part, 2-3- 
celled ; style very short or distinct and up to 2 lin. long, stigma 
funnel-shaped, with the erect sides of the cup, about + of its diam., 
glabrous or nearly so; fruit usually distinctly trigonous, with the 
3 angles or ridges on the upper part subacute, slightly but not 
prominently reticulate on the lower part. Dietr. Synop. Pl. ii.

7. S. flexuosa (Klotzsch in Linnea, xii. 213); apparently laxly 
branched ; branchlets divaricate at the base, then ascending, flexuose, 
rather distant, very minutely puberulous, very pale greyish-brown ; 
leaves 3-nate, erect, shorter than or slightly exceeding the inter- 
nodes and then slightly imbricate, 13-2 lin. long, linear, acute, 
glabrous ; flowers 1-3 together, axillary and terminal, sessile or 
subsessile ; calyx (excluding the larger lobe) scarcely } lin. long, 
broadly and shallowly cup-shaped, shorter than the corolla-tube, 
usually lobed to about half-way down, glabrous; lobes very broadly 
deltoid-ovate, mostly much broader than long, subacute or the larger 
one shortly acuminate, minutely ciliate; corolla nearly 2 lin. long, 
cup-shaped, with incurved lobes, glabrous ; lobes scarcely half as 
long as the tube, broadly deltoid, truncate or very obtuse ; stamens 
8; filaments at first connate almost or quite up to the anthers, 
afterwards becoming more or less separated by the enlargement of 
the ovary, about 1 as long as the + lin. long anthers; ovary 2-3- 
celled, very minutely puberulous on the upper half; style very 
short, scarcely any; stigma large, deeply funnel-shaped, with 
a narrow inflexed margin, glabrous; fruit somewhat compressed or 
subglobose-trigonous, smooth, minutely puberulous on the upper 
half. Benth. in DC. Prodr. vii. 711; Dietr. Synop. Pl. ii. 1261. 
Var. 8, cognata (N. E. Br.) ; compactly or rather densely branched ; branch- 
lets erect, often flexuose, minutely tomentose, puberulous or subglabrous, pale 
brown or greyish; leaves usually erectly imbricate, sometimes crowded, 1-24 
lin, long; calyx } lin. long; stamens 8; filaments }—-% as long as the anthers, 
variably connate, becoming more or less separated by the enlargement of the 
ovary ; anthers 3-} lin. long; ovary conspicuously but minutely puberulous on 
the upper part; style almost none or short and distinct; stigma distinctly 
puberulous on the under side, with the inflexed sides of the cup 4-4 of its 
breadth ; otherwise as in the type.
