one it is easily separated by its dorsifixed anthers, and from the 
latter by its larger corolla and by details of the androecium and 
stigma (see key). The recent combining. of Sa/pig/ossis with Bou- 
chetia by D’Arcy (D’Arcy, 1978) is unacceptable for us; the 
ventrifixed anthers of Bouchetia, and a significant number of 
correlated characters argue strongly against such a novel point of 
view. In a forthcoming paper we shall discuss this topic in detail. 
KEY TO FHE SPECIES 
Glandular hairs of the calyx with elongated pluricellular heads. 
Pollen in tetrads; androecium with four stamens, and the anterior 
one very short or reduced to a small staminode. Cylindrical part of 
the corolla slightly (ca. 1/4) longer than the calyx, and as long as 
at least 1/3 of the total length of the corolla ............. 1. S. sinuata 
. Glandular hairs of the calyx with globoid pluricellular heads. Pollen 
granular; androecium with four stamens, the anterior one absent. 
Cylindrical part of the corolla twice or more longer than the calyx, and 
almost as long as the remaining flared portion of the corolla.
