This appears to be a very variable plant, all the organs differing in relative 
size; in Schlechter’s 5391 and 9545 the corolla scarcely exceeds the calyx, in 
others it is twice as long, and there are all intermediate stages; the corolla, 
apart from the cilia, is glabrous in all the specimens quoted except var. vestita, 
which is.densely pubescent outside, and some specimens of Zeyher, 1121, which 
have a few hairs on the back of the lobes. A specimen named ‘‘ muscosa, Soland,” 
from Salisbury’s Herbarium is identical with the type of the species, but one 
from the Herbarium of Bishop Goodenough labelled ‘‘ Bleria muscosa, Kew 
Gardens,” and may possibly be from Aiton’s type, has a glabrous calyx and a 
ciliate corolla, and beiongs to var. ciliata. 
2. S. Schlechteri (N. E. Br.); branchlets glandular-puberulous, 
brownish ; leaves 3-nate, 3—% lin. long including the petiole, } lin. 
broad, oblong-linear, obtuse, flattish and glabrous above, very con- 
vex, grooved, and sprinkled with very short gland-tipped hairs on 
the back; flowers solitary or clustered on the exceedingly short 
axillary branchlets, sessile; ealyx about 1 lin. long, obconic, un- 
equally 4-toothed, glabrous or very slightly pubescent, ciliate with 
simple hairs and the larger tooth often glandular; corolla about 
1 lin. long, obconic or funnel-shaped, membranous, with 4 short 
broad subtruncate or very obtuse lobes, glabrous, ciliate ; stamens 4, 
free; anthers partly exserted, broadly obtriangular, deciduous ; 
ovary angular and with a ring of minute hairs around the middle ; 
style short, deciduous ; stigma large, peltate scarcely exceeding the 
anthers.

3. S. rigidula (N. E. Br.) ; branchlets clothed with a minute 
white tomentum intermingled with longer hairs; leaves 3-nate, 
1-1 lin. long including the petiole, 12 lin. broad, ovate, subacute, 
flat above, very convex and grooved on the back, very minutely 
puberulous, serrate-ciliate with 4-5 long simple or branched hairs on 
each side and often with 2 rows on the back, with 1 at the apex, 
which is often gland-tipped; flowers 1-3 together, terminal and 
axillary, sessile; calyx 1 lin. long, obconic-campanulate, unequally 
4-lobed, glabrous, ciliate with branched hairs; corolla } lin. long, 
obconic, 4-angled, with 4 broad apiculate lobes, glabrous; stamens 
4, slightly exceeding the corolla, connate; ovary rhomboid-ovate, 
thinly puberulous on the upper part and on the 4 lin. long style
