32. S. Olufsenii n. sp. 



Planta annua glabra collo pluricauli. Caulis non vel inferne 

 uec superne ramosus, 5 — 22 cm. longus ramis paucis longis flexuosis 

 vel recurvatis teretibus roseis non striatis. Folia semiteretia curta 

 (caulis inferiore parte 7 mm. longa 3 mm. lata), basi rotundato- 

 attenuata, inferiora apice obtusa acumine minuta munita, superiora 

 acuta. Florum glomeruli in omnibus axillis, manifeste petiolares 

 6 — 12 flori, pedunculo ab ima basi bifido. Flores omnes herma- 

 phroditi, dimorphi aliis majoribus aliis minoribus, sepalis cucul- 

 latis sæpe imparibus fructus non totum tegeutibus. Antheræ 

 subglobosæ, stigmata 2 filiformia brevia. Ovula seraper horizontalia, 

 semina impresso-punctata. — Tab. nostr. II. (raagnit. j). 



This species is allied to S. (Belowia) paradoxa Bunge, (of 



which I haye seen the original specimen), but the ramification is 



very different, S. paradoxa bearing the branches on the superior 



part of the stem. Also the leaves and the inflorescense differs 



from that of S. paradoxa, which is a big and erect plant, while 



S. Olufsenii is little and prostrate. I have named this species after 



Lieutenant 0. Olufsen, the head of the expedition.
