STREPTOCARPUS WHITE Lapy. 
STREPTOPUS. S. distortus is the correct name 
of the plant described as S. amplewicaulis (which name 
should be amplexifolius).

STRICKLANDIA (named in honour of Sir C. W. 
Strickland). Orp. Amaryllidez. A monotypic genus, 
differimg from Phxdranassa in having monadelphous

also formerly known as Leperiza eucrosioides and 
Stenomesson Stricklandi. 
STRIKE. To take root; commonly said of cuttings.

of cuttings is termed Striking, and when the cuttings 
haye emitted roots they are stated to have ‘‘ struck.”

shortly pedicellate; sepals erect, linear, 4in. long corolla 
with a ventricose tube and short, rounded lobes; panicles 
6in. to 12in. high, widely spreading and profusely branched 
attenuatus (R. G., t. 1243).

January. ?. Sin, to 7in. long, ovate or elliptic, acuminate or 
produced into a long tail, serrated, dark green above, 
reddish-purple beneath. fk. 3ft. to 6ft. Khasya, 1886. 
(B. M. 6922.) 
S. Dyerianus (Dyer’s).* l. violet-blue, disposed in erect spikes ;

dye called ‘‘ Room.” 
(B. M. 6947.) 
STROMANTHE. Including Kerchovea. S. Lubbers- 
iana is now regarded as a_ species of Myrosma 
(M. Lubbersii), S. spectabilis is a form of S. sanguinea, 
and §S. Tonckat is the correct name of Maranta 
angustifolia, 
STROPHANTHUS. Many of the plants of this 
genus possess quaintly-coloured flowers, which are ren- 
dered still more curious by the long, tail-like expansions 
of the corolla lobes. S. dichotomus is shown at Fig. 708. 
S. Ledienii (Ledien’s). #. borne in umbels terminating the 
woody branches; corolla buff-yellow, star-shaped, five-lobed, 
each lobe prolonged into a very long, narrow, ribbon-like tail ;

astringent, and dendron, a tree). Orb. Leguminose. 
A small genus (five or six species) of stove, unarmed, 
usually small, tropical American trees, closely allied to 
Piptadenia and Adenanthera. Flowers small, uniform, 
hermaphrodite or sub-polygamons, in cylindrical spikes. 
Leaves bipinnate; leaflets small. Only one species has 
been introduced—S. guianensis (Syns. Acacia, Mimosa, and 
Piptadenia guianensis)—and that is not in general 
cultivation. 
STUARTIA. According to the ‘‘Index Kewensis,” 
S. Malachodendron is the correct name of the plant 
described on p. 521, Vol. III., as S. virginica ; but the Kew 
Hand-list of trees and shrubs keeps up the latter name. 
STYLIDIUM. To the species described on pp. 520-1, 
Vol. III., the following should be added : 
S. crassifolium (thick-leaved). #. pink, four-lobed, jin. in 
diameter ; scape 2ft. high, hairy, with numerous short branches.

STYRAX. According to the ‘‘Index Kewensis,” 
S. japonica is a distinct species (see under S. serrulata 
virgata). To the species described on p. 523, Vol. III., 
the following should be added:
