I have examined flowers from the types of all the names quoted, and can find 
no difference between them. Usually all the umbels are sessile, but occasionally 
1 or more (as in the type specimen of S. Bolusii) of the lower umbels are 
pedunculate and the rest sessile. Some other species vary in the same way. I 
can find nothing of the nature of a ‘‘longitudinal linear gland” on the back of 
the corona-lobes of the type of S. lwnatwm, nor does such a structure occur 
in any species known to me. The specimen in Harvey’s Herbarium named 
“ Rhinolobium tenue” is that quoted from Wynberg, but bears no number ; it is 
identical with the type of 8S. Guthriet.

long, 4-3 lin. broad, linear-filiform, acute, with revolute margins, 
glabrous ; umbels 8-10, sessile at the nodes, few-flowered ; pedicels 
1-1 lin. long, puberulous ; sepals } lin. long, 4 lin. broad, lanceolate, 
acute, puberulous ; corolla-lobes rather more than 1 lin, long, > lin. 
broad, lanceolate-oblong, subobtuse, slightly incurved at the tips, 
thinly adpressed-pubescent on the back, glabrous on the inner face ; 
corona-lobes subcontiguous, with their points incurved and crossing 
one another over the top of the staminal column, # lin. long, 3 lin. 
broad; basal half subquadrate, with rectangular shoulders, very 
abruptly contracted into a subulate point, inner face with 2 parallel 
keels, but no appendage; staminal column 4 lin. long; anther- 
appendages suborbicular, inflexed over the raised rim of the truncate 
style-apex; young follicles fusiform, tapering into a long beak, 
puberulous.

above and on the midrib beneath ; umbels 4-8, sessile at the nodes, 
4—10-flowered, dense ; pedicels 314 lin. long, adpressed puberulous ; 
sepals 1-12 lin. long, 4-3 lin. broad, ovate-lanceolate, acute, pubes- 
cent ; corolla-lobes rotately spreading, 11-13 lin. long, 3 lin. broad,

2-1 lin. long and broad, subquadrate or rounded-oblong, with 2 keels 
and an appendage on the inner face, slightly keeled down the back,
