BOTANY OF WESTERN INDIA. 209 
bulbosis hirsutis, foliolis 2-jugis obovato-cuneatis margine ciliatis 
subtusque parce strigosis seta terminatis, racemis axillaribus pauci- 
(2-8)-floris pedunculatis, pedunculis glabris filiformibus folio multo 
longioribus, calycis labiis margine setaceo-ciliatis superiore cuneato 
emarginato mucronato inferiore 3-lobo lobis lateralibus obtusis in- 
termedio longiore acuminato, bracteis calyce dimidio brevioribus 
lanceolatis setaceo-acuminatis, floribus flavis, ee 7-spermo, 
articulis grosse tuberculatis. 
Foliola 5-6 lin. longa. Calyx fere 2 lin. Corolla 4 lin.—8. racemose 
affinis.—Crescit cum precedente ; fl. eod. temp. 
This species has the calyx scariose, neither striated nor reticulate, 
but having many dichotomous veins proceeding from the base to the 
apex; it is almost glabrous and not in the least glandular, I therefore 
conclude that this is not S. racemosa, of which I know nothing except 
from the too short description in Wight and Arnott’s Prodromus. 
The present is the smallest and most delicate species which I have met 
with, and makes the fifth new species recently discovered in this Presi- 
dency, the first being S. purpurea of the Bot. Mag. t. 4283, discovered 
by Mr. Law.
