lineari-oblongis obtusis ciliatis subtusque secus costam setuloso- 
strigosis, petiolo communi hispido, stipulis adnatis ovato-lanceolatis 
seta terminatis deorsum longe productis, capitulis sphæricis multi- 
floris solitariis terminalibus, pedunculis glabris folio brevioribus, 
bracteis obovato-lanceolatis calycem æquantibus, calycis reticulati 
glabri labiis rotundatis indivisis dentatis, dentibus longe setaceo- 
acuminatis, leguminis articulis 6-7 glabris lævibus. 
Herba sesquipedalis, tota foliis exceptis glabra.— Crescit in jugo Syha- 
drensi, prope Parwar-ghát ; fl. Oct. 
This species is well distinguished by its spherical and terminal heads 
of flowers. 
2. S. setulosa; 3—4-pedalis, caule dichotome ramoso setuloso-hispido, 
foliolis 5—7-jugis lineari-oblongis obtusis margine ciliatis utrinque 
glaberrimis, petiolo communi hispido foliolisque seta terminatis, 
stipulis longe setaceo-acuminatis paulo infra medium adnatis glabris, 
floribus in panieulam terminalem aphyllam dispositis, racemis in 
dichotomiæ ramulis terminalibus secundis, calycis striati strigosi 
labiis integerrimis minute ciliatis valde inæqualibus superiore orbi-

lin. longus. Corolla 8 lin.— Crescit cum precedente ; fl. eod. temp. 
The whole plant is covered with bright yellow bristles ; it seems 
allied to S. paniculata (Arnott), but differs in not being glandular, in 
having leaves of a different shape, calyx segments quite entire, and 
legumes with many seeds. ——
