400. S. ? gracilis, corollis quinquefidis, calycis carinis simplicibus, foliis 

 ovato-oblongis obtusiusculis enerviis, caule gracili tetragono membranaceo, 

 capsula cylindrica. 



New Zealand (Northern Island). In bogs at Mangamuka, Hokianga. — 

 1834, R. Cunningham. 



I have referred this slender plant to Sehcea, notwithstanding the 

 spirally twisted anthers, post anthesin ; the capsule being bilocular 

 and margins of the valves inflexed. It differs from S. ovata, Br. in 

 having a long cylindrical capsule, leaves without defined nerves, and 

 a habit altogether more slender.
