This closely resembles 8. divaricata, Benth., but differs in its pubescent leaves, 
which are distinctly recurving and have a convex upper surface, the corolla also 
is slightly larger and pubescent with very much longer and different hairs, 
6. S. glandulifera (N. E. Br.) ; a small very dwarf plant, 4—6 in. 
high ; branches erect, flexuose, clothed with a fine pubescence inter- 
mingled with longer gland-tipped hairs ; leaves 3-nate, ascending or 
spreading, *-11 lin, long with the petiole, 1-1 lin, broad, oblong- 
linear, obtuse, turgidly biconvex, puberulous, ciliate with about 3 
long gland-tipped hairs on each side, with 1 at the apex and a few 
on the back ; flowers in small heads or clusters of 38-6 terminating 
exceedingly short lateral branchlets of the main branches, sessile ; 
calyx 2 lin. long, broadly obconic or funnel-shaped, subequalling the 
corolla, somewhat unequally 4-lobed, puberulous ; lobes ovate, acute, 
all ciliate with long gland-tipped hairs ; corolla }—2 lin. long, funnel- 
shaped-campanulate, very shortly 4- (occasionally 5-) lobed, puberu- 
lous on the upper part; lobes broadly deltoid, erect, twice as broad as 
long, subacute, very minutely denticulate ; stamens 4 (occasionally 5), 
at maturity slightly exceeding the corolla; filaments connate into a 
membranous tube which extends half-way up the sides of the 
anthers and connects them together; anthers 2 lin. long, subquad- 
rate, with a triangular notch at the minutely seabrid apex; ovary 
slightly obovoid, minutely puberulous at the top, rather abruptly 
contracted into the slender puberulous 3 lin. long style; stigma 
exserted 3—1 lin. beyond the anthers, large, broadly erater-like.
