S. aurea is a very variable plant in general appearance and in 

 details of the flower ; sometimes flowers with entire and with bi- 

 lobed stigmas are found to occur on the same individual. The 

 forms which have here been included under & aurea proper, can 

 be easily distinguished from var. alata owing to the absence of a 

 distinct wing to the calyx-segments. The variety alata approaches 

 Meyer s S. pallida, which was included by Schinz as only another 

 variety of S. aurea. S. pallida, E. Mey., however, is distinguished 

 by the large wings to the calyx-segments, which are broadest at 

 the base ; it is maintained here as a distinct species. S. ochroleuca, 

 Wolley Dod, which is also closely allied to S. pallida, differs from 

 that species in its smaller corolla lobes, anthers and style.

This species is placed by Schinz in the subsection Pentandria, 

 bchinz ; the flowers, however, appear to be always 4-merous, and 

 mis species must therefore be included in the subsection Tetran- 

 dria, fechmz. It is allied to S. aurea, but differs in the few- 

 nowered inflorescences and in the calyx-segments with a wing most 

 definite above the middle.
