Specimen examined: 
Mexico: "Tromptero, Mesa del Arrero," 21 November, 1880, 
Kerber, 94 (Berlin Herb., fragments and tracing in Gray 
Herb.), TYPE. 
This species is known at present from a single specimen in 
the Royal Botanical Museum of Berlin. From this specimen 
the writer was permitted, as in a number of other cases, while 
making a study of the genus several years ago, to make a tracing 
and take fragments for the Gray Herbarium of Harvard Uni- 
versity. Тһе species is related to S. Hartwegi Benth. and S. 
reglensis Greenm., but from these and from other species of the 
section Palmatinervii to which it belongs, it is readily distin- 
guished by the somewhat elongated more or less fan-shaped 
and bluntly lobed leaves.
