Hab. Viget in ripà fl. Paraguay inter Santa Cruz et Diamantino. (N. 614.) 
The specimens are without flowers, hence I am unable io determine the species with 
certainty. If not S. Maximowicziana, we have here a new species closely allied to it.

this species in Mart. Fl. Bras. xii. pars iii. tab. 26. [Goyaz.]
