Very near S. lancifolia S. et Z., but differs from it by the much smaller 

 bracts, smaller calyx-lobes, larger corolla, and shortly stalked fruits. Also near 

 8. microcarpa CHAMI-. and S. caudata WALL., but distinguishable from them by 

 the much smaller leaves and ovary which is very pilose at the apex.
