A copy of Dr. Schlechter’s drawing of the analytical details of his type in the 
herbarium of Dr. Bolus, quite agrees with the specimens of Wood & Sanderson, 
except that he represents and describes the corolla-lobes as being puberulous to 
the tips on the inner face, which is not the case in the specimens I have seen. 
48. S. Schlechteri (N. E. Br.); stem 15-20 in. high, simple, 
slender, with numerous internodes 3-1 in. long, puberulous ; leaves 
erect, 2—]1 in. long, 4—} lin. broad, linear, acute, with thickened 
or revolute margins, glabrous, or with some very minute blackish 
hairs beneath; umbels 4-6, sessile at the nodes, 4~5-flowered ; 
pedicels 1 lin. long, adpressed-puberulous with minute white and 
blackish hairs ; sepals ascending, 14 lin. jong, } lin. broad, lanceolate, 
tapering into a very acute point, sprinkled with very minute blackish 
hairs (not pilose, as originally described); corolla campanulate, 
glabrous outside, bearded with white hairs on the inner face of the 
lobes; tube almost 1 lin. long; lobes ascending or but slightly 
spreading, about 14 lin. (2 lin. ex Schlechter) long, = lin. broad, 
ovate, minutely notched at the subacute point; corona-lobes $ lin. 
long, 3 lin. broad, elliptic or ovate, obtuse or obtusely pointed, 
forming a mere rim behind the base of the appendage, which arises 
near the apex of the lobe, is 4 lin, long, subulate, inflexed over the 
top of the 1 lin.-long staminal column; and decurrent at its base 
as 2 keels on the inner face of the lobe; anther-appendages longer 
than broad, ovate or oblong-ovate, erect, with only their tips inflexed 
on the truncate style-apex, which has a thick overhanging rim with 
the pollen-carriers seated a short distance below it; caudicles short, 
stout, attached at the side of the oblong pollen-masses at their apex.
