Is own conception of S. micrantha, Clarke has removed nos. 
3540 and 3720 (A), with the ovary hairy, to his S. Beddomei— 
which is here considered synonymous with S. colubrina, the 
South Indian species (see p. 157). 
It is unfortunate that we have no definite knowledge of where 
this endemic species was collected. Since it bears the same 
number as specimens belonging to S. micrantha, Thw., it may 
perhaps be concluded that it is a native of the low country (see 
Trimen, Flor. Ceylon, iii. p ° 
In its leaf and floral characters it shows some resemblance to 
S. aenea, A. W. Hill. It differs especially in the slightly 
bearded anthers, the pubescent stems, and larger paniculate 
infloresences,
