pedicels shorter than the peduncle, puberulous, pendulous after 
flowering ; sepals half as long as the corolla, lanceolate, acute, slightly 
puberulous ; corolla-lobes very spreading, about 1 lin. long, ovate- 
lanceolate, obtuse, with recurved margins, glabrous; corona-lobes not 
as long as the staminal column, erect, fleshy, oblong-ligulate, obtuse, 
with 2 keels on the inner face; anther-appendages ovate, obtuse, 
with the tips incurved over the style-apex. Schlechter in Journ.

I doubt if this is really distinct from S. orbiculare, Schlechter ; only one 
specimen of each supposed species was found, and Dr. Schlechter states that at first 
he considered them both to belong to one species. I have not seen either. Are 
they distinct from S. crassipes ? 
28. S. Peglere (N. E. Br.); tubers small, often 2 or 3 to a plant, 
2-4 lin. long, 14-2 lin. thick, ovoid; stem solitary, erect, simple, 
or branched at the base, 4-8 in. high, pubescent; leaves 3-14 in. 
long, 1-21 lin. broad, lanceolate, linear-oblanceolate or linear-sub- 
spathulate, the lower opposite, the rest verticillate, slightly and 
minutely pubescent along the revolute margins and on the midrib 
beneath, otherwise glabrous, or nearly so ; fascicles or sessile umbels 
often 2 at a node, 3-5-flowered ; pedicels 2-33 lin. long, puberulous ; 
sepals about 1 lin. long, 4 lin. broad, lanceolate, acute ; corolla 
rotate, or perhaps slightly reflexed ; lobes 14 lin. long, 3 lin. broad, 
oblong-ovate, subacute, quite glabrous on both sides; corona-lobes 
$ lin. long, and as much in breadth, erect, subquadrate-ovate, bifid 
at the apex, with the teeth usually minutely denticulate on the 
inner margin, and inflexed upon the top of the staminal column, 
2-keeled on the inner face, without any appendage, and with a rather 
broad shallow groove down the back ; staminal column rather more 
than } lin. long ; anther-appendages minute, cuneate-oblong, truncate, 
abruptly inflexed over the rim of the crater-like style-apex: young 
follicles solitary, much swollen at the middle, and equally tapering 
to a long obtuse beak and stalk-like base, minutely subtomentose. —
