obtusely keeled down the back, with a filiform appendage about 
lin. long inflexed over the } lin.-long staminal column from the 
very apex of their inner face and often appearing as a truly terminal 
point in dried flowers, decurrent as 2 closely placed keels to below 
the middle, abruptly diverging thence into horizontal sinuous keels 
to the margins; anther-appendages transverse, obtusely rounded, 
inflexed over the 1im of the style-apex ; follicles solitary, 11-13 in.

88, 8. hirsutum (Turcz. in Bull. Soc. Nat. Mose. 1848, i. 256) ; 
stem simple or slightly branched, hairy; leaves subsessile or very 
shortly petiolate, oblong, o!tuse or shortly acuminate, hairy on both 
sides, twice as long as the internodes, truncate or hastate at the 
base ; umbels terminal or lateral at the upper nodes, about 6-flowered ; 
corolla 5-partite, fleshy; corona-lobes concave, with an entire 
inflexed terminal point and a bipartite appendage on the inner face 
incumbent on the style-apex ; pollen-masses oblong, laterally affixed ; 
follicles solitary, covered with long soft bristles. Schlechter in Journ.

This appears to be closely allied to S. cordifoliwm, E, Meyer, and may prove to 
be identical with that species.
