long, the latter over 1 mm. broad. Corolla-tube 1:2 cm. long, nearly 
5 mm. wide at the mouth; lobes 3:5 mm. long. 
The nearest affinity seems to be with S. pilosa Hiern, but there 
are several points of essential difference.

ramis florentibus teretibus junioribus cano-araneoso-pubescen- 
tibus demum glabrescentibus ; foliis breviuscule petiolatis ovato-

basi lata ovatis obtusis diutius persistentibus demum reflexis ;

tomentosis multo petiolos excedentibus, bracteis paucis ovatis vel 
orbieularibus extus tomentosis vix basi connatis uniseriatis in- 
volucrantibus ; floribus pedicellis longis tomentosis ; calyce extus 
breviuscule brunneo-griseo-lanato, lobis brevibus oblongis subacutis 
intus discoloribus glabratis tubum aequantibus demum reflexis ; 
corolla tubulosa a basi gradatim leniter ampliata lobis deltoideis

2:2 mm. wide. Peduncles 1:5-3 em. long ; capitula 2 cm. in diameter. 
Bracts 5:5 mm. long, 5 mm. wide. Pedicels to 5:5 mm. long. Calyz, 
including ovary, 2 mm. long; lobes 2 mm. long, 1 mm. broad. 
Corolla to 8 mm. long, 2:5 mm. wide at the mouth ; lobes scarcely 
1mm. long. 
Near S. capitellata Benth., but distinguished among other features 
by the long peduncles and pedicels, the uniseriate involuere, and the 
short relatively broad calyx-lobes.
