" S. formosana is closely allied to S. javanica, JUNGHUHN, but that is a 

 taller plant, attaining a height of 3 feet." 



The species above mentioned is recorded from Formosa ; but we have 

 never seen the plant in the island. It is somewhat near to S. rubropunctata* 

 in the punctate leaves, but differs from it in the much larger leaves and looser 

 racemes.

 racemes.
