phyllum. Therefore I only quote here the latter reference which distinctly 
refers to the type of Aspidoglossum heterophyllum in E. Meyer’s Herbarium, 
which I have dissected side by side with the type of 8. villosum, Schlechter, 
and find to be identical with that. 
30. 8. consimile (N. E. Br.) ; plant 3~4 in. high ; stem simple or 
with 1 basal branch, erect, pubescent, with 2-5 leafy nodes below 
the lowest flowering node; leaves gl in. long, 3-32 lin. broad, all 
- linear or linear-lanceolate or the lower ovate, lanceolate or oblong, 
acute, rounded or cuneate at the base, those at the flowering nodes 
often whorled, minutely pubescent above, roughly and sparsely 
pubescent on the midrib beneath; umbels sessile at the nodes, 3-9- 
flowered ; pedicels 22~3 lin. long, pubescent ; sepals 11 lin. long, 
lanceolate, acuminate, pubescent ; corolla-lobes 14-2 lin. long, 2-1 lin. 
broad, oblong, subacute, more or less reflexed, glabrous outside, 
rather densely pubescent all over on the inner face, not ciliate ; 
corona-lobes twice as long as the staminal column, basal part 2 lin. 
long, 2 lin. broad, suborbieular or transversely or broadly rhomboid- 
ovate, abruptly narrowed into an erectly spreading (or in some 
flowers apparently erect with incurved tips) filiform point 3~1 lin. 
long, and with 2 subparallel keels and a filiform appendage 3-2 lin. 
long on the inner face arising at the base of the terminal point and 
directed over the 2 lin.-long staminal column; anther-appendages 
rounded or subreniform, erect ; anther-wings remarkably and abruptly 
projecting at the base in small rounded or subangular lobules.

Similar to 8. heterophyllum, differing in having the inner face of the corolla 
very pubescent and much longer corona-lobes. Possibly this may be the plant 
intended for S. heterophyllum by Schlechter in Verhandl. Bot. Ver. Brandenb. 
xxxy. 51, under &. schinzianum, and in Engl. Jahrb. xviii. Beibl. 45, 16, see 
note under 8, heterophyllum. 
31. S. uncinatum (N. E. Br.); plant 4-5 in, high, usually branch- 
ing at the base; stems with 3-6 internodes, pubescent all round ; 
leaves usually opposite, occasionally whorled at the flowering nodes, 
ascending or slightly spreading; petiole 1-14 lin. long; blade 3-12 
in. long, 3-1 in. broad, linear, oblong or elliptic, acute or obtuse, 
rounded or subtruncate at the base, revolute along the margins, 
pubescent all over above and on the veins beneath ; umbels sessile 
at the nodes, 2-8-flowered ; bracts filiform; pedicels 21—4 lin. long, 
pubescent ; sepals 1-12 lin. long, } lin. broad, lanceolate, acuminate, 
pubescent; corolla slightly pubescent outside, glabrous within ; 
lobes 12 lin, long, 2 lin. broad, campanulately ascending, oblong, 
with abruptly reflexed acute tips and broadly recurved margins ; 
corona-lobes much longer than the staminal column, 1 lin. long, 
2 lin. broad, oblong or subrectangular, with angular shoulders, 
narrowed above into an erect deltoid acute point, and with a subulate 
appendage and 2 parallel keels on the inner face ; appendage 3-1 lin.
