Close to S. Hainesii S. Moore which, with broader leaves, has 

 longer and more strongly spinous-tijjped floral leaves, differently 

 shaped sterile bracts, calyx diverse in some respects, besides white 

 or perhaps pale yellow flowers. In addition Clarke describes and 

 apparently correctly .S, Hainesii as having no bracteoles, whereas 

 S. cataractce certainly has one, that is to say Avhile the outer of the 

 organs surrounding the flowers are S-nerved (bracts), the innermost 

 one answers the requirement of a bracteole, viz., in being 1 -nerved, 

 although in normal cases two such are present.
