very obtusely rounded at the apex, slightly concave, glabrous on 
both sides, sometimes minutely ciliate at the base, greenish or 
yellowish-green ; corona-lobes much shorter than the staminal 
column, 2-2 lin. long, 3-3 lin. broad, ovate-oblong or oblong, 
obtusely rounded at the apex, with an appendage and 2 distant 
parallel keels placed near the margins and having a short keel on 
each side extending from the base of the appendage obliquely down- 
wards and out to the margins on the inner face, so that viewed side- 
ways the margins appear to make a fold at this point; appendage 
2 lin. long, arising just below the apex of the lobe and usually more 
than half as broad as it is at the base, linear, deeply bifid or trifid 
or divided to the base into 2-8 contiguous subulate segments, erect, 
reaching to or slightly overtopping the style-apex, slightly recurved- 
hooked at the apex; staminal column 3-1 lin. long; anther-appen- 
dages subreniform, very obtuse, erect beneath the rim of the broad 
flat or slightly concave style-apex ; caudicles attached to the side of 
the oblong pollen-masses between the middle and apex. Decne in

The specimen in E. Meyer’s Herbarium, which Schlechter in Engl. Jahrb. xxi. 
Beibl, 54, 3, states was mixed with S. euphorbioides, E, Meyer (Drége, 4960), 
and has named 8. tridentatum, Schlechter, is E. virens, B. Meyer, and is evidently 
a portion of the same gathering as Drage, 4596 ; it is quite distinct in its coronal 
structure from S. tridentatum, with the type of which (Flanagan, 1040) I have 
compared it, In E. Meyer’s Herbarium, Schlechter has labelled the type 
specimens of 8. cordifolium, EH. Meyer, as S. virens, and to the type of S. virens 
he has not added a label. 
7. S. euphorbioides (E. Meyer, Comm. 219) ; plant 13-2 ft. or 
more high, branching or cecasionally simple, 1-11 lin. thick, 
bifariously puberulous; internodes very numerous, mostly 4—} in. 
long, or some of the upper }-1 in. long; leaves often somewhat 
crowded, sessile or with petioles up to 1 lin. long, very spreading or 
ascending, 2-1 in. long, 14-4 lin. broad, often broadest near the 
apex, spathulate-oblong, oblong or linear-oblong, obtuse or rounded 
and minutely apiculate at the apex, truneate or subhastate at the 
base, scabrous-pubescent along the revolute margins, otherwise 
glabrous; umbels pedunculate, subcorymbose or clustered at the 
apex of the branches or the lower racemose, 4-8-flowered ; pe- 
duneles 311 in. long, pubescent or subtomentose on one side, as 
are the unequal 13-6 lin. long pedicels; bracts $-+-11 lin. long, 
subulate; sepals 12 lin. long, } lin. broad, oblong or oblong-lanceo- 
late, acute or subobtuse, slightly puberulous ; corolla-lobes ascend-
