412 ‘FLORA OF VAN DIEMAN’S LAND. 
Seeds large and tuberculated. It may be distinguished from - 
S. glauca by its want of glossiness and small petals, and from — 
S. graminea by its flowers not being panicled. The plants, - 
especially the smaller ones, are very much tufted.

Frutescens, erecta, tota Pubeseutsitelluta. Folia petiolata, 
petiolis elongatis 2 folii æquantibus, ovato-elongata, crenato- 
dentata, basi subcordata, inferne pallidiora, tomentosa. Ra- 
cemi axillares, breves, aggregati. Flores breviter pedicellati- 
Calyces stellato-pubescentes, subcampanulati, segmentis bre- 
vibus, bracteati, bracteis parvis. Petala alba, obovato-lance- 
olata, in tubum staminiferum unita. Styli 5 exserti; capsula.

Nearly allied to S. pulchella; but the racemes are denser 2 
. and bear more numerous flowers, the leaves less cordate, the 
. calyx covered with a stellated pubescence, the styles exserted, - 
and the plants never dioecious. The calycine segments a are 
shorter, and the petals rounded at the extremity. — —
