Happy Valley Woods and Mount Victoria. Flowers whitish, the 
lobes of the corolla and sterile stamens rather broader than they are 
figured by Hooker, and somewhat cordate at the base. Fruit black, 
ovoid or oblong, half an inch long. The original S. Wightianum, Wall., 
a very different plant, has been shown by A. De Candolle to be a species 
of Zsonandra.
