S 





S. repens, the apical glands of the anthers are yellow, whilst 



5. Marlothii, S. Thodeana and S. spathulata are characterised by 

 the possession of black glands at the apices of the anthers. 



With regard to the insertion of the filaments of the anthers, . 

 in S. repens this takes place in the sinuses of the corolla, in 

 8. procumbens either in or just below the sinuses, in S. Marlothii, 

 and 8. Thodeana just below the sinuses, whilst in S. spathulata 

 the filaments are inserted more or less deeply in the corolla- 

 tube. S. Thodeana and S. spathulata appear to be somewhat 

 different from the three other species as regards the texture and 

 colour of the corolla, and they also tend to form definite rosettes of 

 elongate spathulate leaves, whilst the allied species are essentially 

 creeping in habit. 8. spathulata is further easily marked off 

 from the others in the character of its stvle, the apex of which is ' 

 always below the base of the anthers, and in this character it 

 snows affinity with the peculiar and anomalous creeping species 



6. itiomasn, Schinz, which should probably be also included in 



this group. *
