This species is of interest as the distinction between Sebxa and Belmontia witb 
regard to the anthers does not hold good. According to Schinz’s type-specimen 
the anthers are in the throat about } of a line below the sinuses of the corolla- 
lobes, but in Cooper, 2751, they occur in the sinuses as in Sebwa proper. 
S. Schenlandii bears a certain external resemblance to S. sedoides, under which 
species two specimens have been placed, but it may be distinguished by the 
longer internodes. Cooper’s 2750 at Edinburgh is S. Rudolfii, Schinz.
