A. W. Hill, in the Kew Bulletin for 1917, divides these into four 
species separated as follows: 
Corolla tube shorter than lobes; corolla lobes 5; anth. 
hairy ; ovary and style glabrous ; ee? . S. tetragona. 
Corolla tube equalling the lobes; anth. glabrous; 
ovary tomentose : 
Leaves trinerved : 
Corolla tomentose externally . . §. CORIACHA. 
Corolla glabrous externally . . S. MICRANTHA. 
Leaves triplinerved . . SS. lenticellata. 
S. TETRAGONA A. W. Hill in Kew Bull. 1917, p. 140; Petch in Ann. 
Perad. Vil, p. 156 (1919). 
CE: 3720 B is referred to this by A. W. Hill. 
Specimens from Rassagala are also referred to this by Petch (I. c 
p- 157) they have bearded anthers, but the leaves are larger than in 
typical S. tetragona. ‘There are also fruiting specimens labelled 
‘* Central Province ’’’ and ‘‘ near Galle’’ by Thwaites. 
This then appears to be an endemic wet zone tree (or climber). None 
of the specimens have tendrils. 
S. coriacea Thw. Enum. p. 425 (1864); A. W. Hill 1. c. p. 155 
(1917) ; Petch 1. c. p. 156 (1919). 
Endemic. 
This is only known from C. P. 3367 labelled ‘‘ Central Province, 
Feb. 1855.’’ It is readily distinguished from allied species by the large 
flowers.

Petch adds ‘‘ near Galle, Sept. 1857, and Bibile, Feb. 1858, a tree, 
Thwaites C. P. 3540. Between Ratnapura and Galle, March 1861, 
Peradeniya, March 1863.” 
The second sheet also contained specimens of S. tetragona A. W. 
Hill which were probably from between Ratnapura and Galle, as 
there are other specimens of C. tetragona labelled near Galle. Also 
a specimen from Sober Island, Trincomalee, H. Nevill.
