calyx ; corolla sligbtly exceeding the sepals, to the middle five-cleft outside 

 pale-yellowish, inside from above the base white-lanuginous ; free pai t of 

 tbe Filaments very sbort, emerging close to the base of the corolla-lobes ; 

 anthers pendent, not much shorter than the corolla-tube, linear-cylindric, 

 reddish, divergently short-bilobed; style elongated, subulate, to above the 

 middle pubescent ; stigma very minute ; disk greenish, cleft to the middle 

 into five semiorbicular lobes with a darker zone of colonration ; ovulary 

 invested, and surpassed by a dense tuft of white straight hairlets. 

 Near LakeDeborah; Croniu. 



A plant of chaste beauty. Leaves almost sessile, mostly '/« — x /s inch 

 long. Flowers nealy 2 /s inch long. Corolla-lobes semilanceolate-linear. 

 Celle of the ovulary narrow. Fruit unknown. In the only branchlet 

 received the flowers may not be fully developed and the corolla may 

 finally therefore lengthen more out beyond the calyx, rendering then an 

 expansion of its lobes possible. Only two other species with ciliolar or 

 penicillar surrounding of the ovulary are on record, namely : — S. cym- 

 biformis and S. blepharolepis; real relationship, however, draws our new 

 congener near S. mfa, which likewise is an inhabirant of desertregions. 

 It bears also some resemblance to 8. xerophylla. 



This floral rarity is dedicated to Henry John King, Esq., who by his 



genius and zeal has greatly contributed for elevating one of the most 



brilliant of arts to its high tone in our metropolis.
