I have seen and dissected the type specimens of all the synonyms quoted side 
by side with E. Meyer’s type of 8. cordifoliwm, and find them identical with 
that species in appearance and structure. Schlechter has likewise seen E. 
Meyer’s type, but in Engl. Jahrb. xxi. Beibl. 54, 3, he erroneously refers 8S. 
cordifolium to 8. ewphorbioides, and S. Hollandie, Harv. (of which the type 18 
Mrs, Holland’s 37) to 8. virens, so that S. cordifolium, Schlechter in Journ. 
Bot. 1896, 419, can scarcely be the plant of E. Meyer, and as there is neither 
description nor collector’s number quoted, I cannot identify it, The minute 
pubescence at the base of the inner face of the corolla-lobes cannot be seen oD 
flowers that have been wetted for dissection until they are dry.
