In this species the biglandular swelling on the style is usually 

 very small and sometimes undeveloped. No character of any 

 importance can be found to separate 8. leiostyla and S. trans- 

 vaalensis. S. leiostyla has therefore an extended range from 

 Nyasaland to Natal through the Transvaal and into Orange River 

 Colony. Buchanan, 270, the type of Gilg's species, appears to 

 agree in all essentials with the other specimens quoted. Schlechter's 

 plant 4720, collected in the Houtbosch Berg, which is the type of 

 S. trans vaalensis, Schinz, differs from other specimens only in 

 its more bushy habit and numerous axillary inflorescences.
