14. S. trimera (N. E. Br.); a densely much-branched shrublet 
1-11 ft. high ; branchlets puberulous ; leaves 3-nate, erect or ascend- 
ing, 3-1 lin. long with the petiole, linear, subacute or obtuse, 
glabrous or minutely puberulous, often at first tipped with a few 
fine hairs; flowers axillary or terminating exceedingly short axillary 
branchlets, 1-3 together, sessile or subsessile; calyx obconic, 
3-angled and unequally 3-lobed, rarely imperfectly 4-lobed, 
glabrous or puberulous on the angles, ciliate on the lobes; tube 
1-1 lin. long, transparent between the angles, lobes 3—} lin. long, 
linear, obtuse; corolla 3-2 lin. long, urceolate, 3-lobed, ovoid- 
inflated, broadest (2 lin. in diam.) slightly above the middle, 
contracted at the base, but scarcely so or not at all below the 
lobes, varying from nearly or quite glabrous to puberulous nearly all 
over ; lobes 4—1 lin. long, oblong or ovate-oblong, very obtuse, erect 
or slightly connivent; stamens 3, included; filaments free, slender ; 
anthers connate, less than 2 lin. long, subquadrate, shortly and

The variation in the size of the corolla is probably due to different stages of 
maturity of the flower. 
15. S. urceolata (Benth. in DC. Prodr. vii. 709) ; like S. trimera 
in appearance and foliage, but the pubescence on the branchlets is 
longer; leaves glabrous ; flowers 1-3 terminating short or elongated 
axillary branchlets, with distinct pedicels {—-} lin. long; calyx 
obconic, unequally 4-lobed, 4-angled, glabrous, ciliate on the lobes ; 
tube + lin. long, subtransparent between the angles; lobes 3-3 lin, 
long, linear, acute ; corolla 2—3 lin. long, urceolate, 4-lobed, distinctly 
contracted below the lobes and at the base, broadest (3-3 lin. in 
diam.) at the globose-inflated middle, puberulous on the upper haif ; 
lobes ereet, 1—2 lin. long, ovate, subacute ; stamens 3, included ; 
filaments free, slender ; anthers connate at the base, } lin. long, sub- 
quadrate ; ovary narrowly ovoid, narrowed into the style, which is 
puberulous at the apex; stigma just exserted from the corolla, — 
broadly funnel-shaped. Tristemon urceolatus, Klotasch in Linnea,
