Kwala Tahan. 
Hitherto but one species of this genus has been described, viz. 5. macrophylla, Blume, 
Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat. i. p. 241, a native of Sumatra and Borneo. This has been referred 
to the genus Roucheria by Planchon, from which it differs in its capsular fruit and 
„panicled inflorescence. It is a little-known plant, but is evidently a close ally of the 
above-described species, which differs from it in its smaller leaves and panicles (which 
latter, in S. macrophylla, are from 1 to 11 feet long), in its four rounded ciliate sepals, 
which in Blume’s plant are ovate acute and five in number, and in its glabrous 
style, &c. The number of the parts, however, seems to vary ; one flower, for instance, has 
three, another five styles. Тһе stamens are eight or nine; I have not seen ten, as in 
S. macrophylla. Тһе petals seem to break off very soon, and probably, as in Roucheria 
Griffithii, the flowers last but a short time. Тһе cup formed by the connation of the 
bases of the stamens is very short, and looks more of the nature of а disc. :
