with the 3-1 lin.-long filiform point apparently arising from near 
the middle of the back and erect or slightly spreading, sometimes 
incurved at the apex, whilst the 3-1 lin.-long filiform erect append- 
age is dilated into a very broad base, with a square-shouldered tooth 
on each side, and falsely appears to be the apex of the lobe, recurved 
or slightly ineurved at the tip, with 2 parallel keels and sometimes 
an oblique keel extending from them to the margin of the lobe 
on the inner face; staminal column 3 lin. long; anther-appendages 
reniform or suborbicular, obtuse, their tips inflexed over the rim 
of the depressed-truncate style-apex ; pollen-carriers long and narrow, 
linear.

This is closely allied to S. exciswm, but has smaller flowers, puberulous 
bree and comes from a different region; the colour of the flowers may also be 
ifferent.

as the lobe at the base, with a square-shouldered tooth on each 
side, and falsely appearing to be the top of the lobe, on the inner 
face 2 prominent parallel keels are decurrent from the teeth, with 
an oblique keel extending from their apices to the middle of the 
lobe on each side ; staminal column 3-2 lin. long ; anther-appendages
