This species has been placed under S. luzonensis in the 
Herbarium of the Bureau of Science, but it is quite a distinct 
spec 
Phe description has been entirely redrawn as the 
material (amos 23814), shows that the flowers in the ofevioualy 
described specimens were only in the bud stage and the corolla 
tube had not developed. 
This species is certainly nearly allied to S. multiflora, but is 
smaller in all its parts and may be distinguished by the pubes- 
cence of the stems, the smaller, narrow leaves and the hairy 
style. With its lax, slender inflorescences like those of a 
ap elie it is seen to be quite distinct from S. multiflora.

s possible that this species may belong to the section 
Penicillatae, but this cannot be determined from the figures 
given by Gilg and Benedict. In both S. Forbesii, A. W. Hill, 
and S. laurina, Wall., to which the authors suggest it may be 
allied, the anthers are "bearded.

The plant as figured ‘eth its large paniculate inflorescences 
12-14 em. long, and large triplinerved leaves resembles S. multi-
