During the 120 years that have elapsed since Gaertner established 
this remarkable genus, which more resembles a Phytolacca than one 
of the Campanulaceae, no second species has hitherto been added 
to it. The discovery of S. Dalzielii is therefore of more than 
ordinary interest. It differs from S. zeylanica, Gaertn., by its more 
flaccid stem, which seems to be of quite a different texture, much 
smaller and not conically pointed flower-spikes, a corolla twice as 
long as the calyx-lobes, stamens with filaments as long as (not 
shorter than) the anthers, and the latter broader than long, and 
much smaller than those of S. zeylanica

In Thiselton-Dyer’s Flora of Tropical Africa, vol. vi. p. 613, 
I stated that K. Schumann’s Oncinotis subsessilis, which at ‘the time 
was not represented at Kew, would probably have to be referred to 
Baissea, Specimens received since have confirmed that view, and they 
suggest its insertion and that of the present species after B. ango- 
lensis in the arrangement adopted in the Flora of Tropical Africa. »
