This species, which in the PI. Br. Ind. was placed under .S. HenscJielii, has been 

 separated by Brand, who considers the true S. Henschelii (Coniylohlaste Hensclielii, 

 Moritzi in Bot. Zeit. vi. 604 (1848), to be a Java plant only. It is not thought neces- 

 sary to maintain Clarke's var. liirtistijUs.
