No number or locality. 



In habit this species might easily be mistaken for S. Woodii 

 Scliltr. or S. altissiiinDii Schltr., both natives of Eastern South 

 Africa. It differs from both in the shape of the corona-scales and 

 the anthers. The pollinia would bring it nearer to S. altissimuvi 

 than to S. Woodii. S. ahijssinicum Schltr. [LcKjarinthus ahyssinicus 

 Hochst.) S. aiKjustissiinum K. Sch., and S. elatuniK. Sch., which are 

 also allies, have quite differently- shaped corona-scales. There is only 

 a single specimen of this species in the collection, without locality or 

 number; it was originally mixed with -S'. enibescens Schltr., No. 

 8071, but I doubt whether it comes from the same locality. The 

 top of the plant is broken off, so that the height of the stem as 

 given above needs confirmation.
